How did the 17th Amendment mess up the balance of powers? Because originally the states had a lot of say since they sent people to congress but not they completely lost a house in government. Since then the National government has gotten much more powerful than the states. But, if the 17th amendment was repealed it would start to bring the balance of power back. Also, if the obamacare case gets ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court that would be a huge step for the states, showing that the national government does not reign supreme.
