Some people argue that the Senate should represent the states, and the House should represent the people.

Explanation:

People now vote for Senators but before the 17th Amendment, state legislators voted for them. State legislators are more informed and knowledgeable about current events and going to make better choices. Repealing the 17th Amendment would also allow independent state power. For instance, one state can choose to legalize guns or increase taxes while others do not have to.
