Hello and welcome to "Roots of Today," the podcast where the past meets the present. With every episode, we journey through time, uncovering the lessons, parallels, and connections between historical milestones and current events to create a deeper understanding of the compelling stories and issues that shape the news. This week, we’re going to get into the weeds a little bit and take an in-depth view of the United States Senate: specifically, how the body was originally structured in the Constitution, how the 17th Amendment changed the method Senators were selected, and why that change was detrimental to our federal republic.
