The Founders wanted the power and control of government to rest with โWe The People.โ This is reflected in how they structured Congress as spelled out in Article I. The House of Representatives was to be known as the โPeopleโs Houseโโwith representatives elected by the people from congressional districts and only officials directly elected within the federal government under the original design.
The U.S. Senate was meant to be the voice of The States in Congress, but more specificallyโthe state legislatures. Under the original design, state legislatures were meant to be the most consequential institutions and hold the real power in the entire government structure. This, for example, is why the Founders gave ultimate power for selecting presidential electors to state legislatures. Not the state governors, courts, or popular voteโthe state legislatures.
