Tenth Amendment
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Originally the senate represented the rights of the individual states, and they were appointed by state reps. They never stood for popular election.
This was changed so they could stop the senate from blocking prohibition.
Things have gotten steady fuked up since then.
We need to change it back.
History is a wonderful thing to behold.
It would be the easiest and fastest to return more power to the states where it belongs.
That would take political will.
No it would take the will of the people, they had it when they changed it the first time.
Technically," the people" are to comprise the government.

We the people, by way of the US Constitution decided the extent of federal power.
The framers stated that this constitution only worked for a moral population. So they infiltrated and corrupted the schools and every other institution they could to bring as much immorality as possible.
That was always the premise; that the people would remain a moral, honest people with integrity. As long as we held to our Christian values, that would be true. Thankfully there are still Christian patriots that do not hold with the corrupted “church” views. Sadly that does not apply to a majority of our nationally elected politicians.
Fact.
