From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Federalism, the Supreme Court, and the Seventeenth Amendment: The Irony of Constitutional Democracy is a 2001 book by American author Ralph A. Rossum. Rossum argues that U.S. state sovereignty was ensured in the Constitution through structural powers, not judicial review, and that the stripping of state legislatures' powers to elect U.S. senators killed that federalist system.
