The anti-constitutional revolution of 1913 continues: William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State, fraudulently certifies the unlawfully proposed 17th amendment, providing for the popular election of United states Senators (as opposed to election by the State legislatures), as having received the required three-fourths ratification of the States—this despite that Article V requires State ratification of this amendment be unanimous: “[N]o State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.” Eight States, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and South Carolina all abstained; and Utah rejected the amendment.
NOTE: This deception destroys the protection of “federalism” the ability of the State legislatures to act as a check on the unbridled power of Congress that had been established in Article I, Section 3.
