Hardback. New. Ralph A. Rossum argues that it is the ultimate irony of constitutional democracy that an amendment intended to promote democracy, even at the expense of federalism, has been been undermined by an activist Supreme Court intent on protecting federalism, at the expense of democracy.

Rossum's provocative new book considers the forces unleashed by an amendment to install the direct election of U.S. Senators. Far from expecting federalism to be protected by an activist court, the Framers, Rossum argues, expected the constitutional structure, particularly the election of the Senate by state legislatures, to sustain it.
