Assignment #5- A.Perkins

"The Continuing Fall of Federalism" was written by George F. Will for The Washington Post. I believe this artice is directed to congress, but because they don't usually care about public opinion, the main audience is the public. This article was written to persuade the public that we still need a stake in our governmment.

The basic argument in this article was about how senators are appointed or elected. I would have to agree with Senator Russ Feingold in that a senator should be elected by the people. Our government was established "by the people, for the people". Everyone should have an opportunity to cast their vote on senate elections because those people are their to be everyone's voice.
