The U.S. Senate was originally designed to be an appointed body to represent state legislatures and protect state interests at the federal level. This structure was intended to create a check on the more directly elected House of Representatives and to ensure that states had a voice in federal governance. The 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, changed this by allowing for the direct election of Senators, reflecting a shift towards greater democratic participation. However, the original appointment system aimed to foster stability and deliberate decision-making in the legislative process.
