2) In The Federalist 39, James Madison explained this:
The House of Representatives, like that of one branch at least of all the State legislatures, is
elected immediately by the great body of the people. The Senate, like the present Congress,
and the Senate of Maryland, derives its appointment indirectly from the people. The President
is indirectly derived from the choice of the people, according to the example in most of the
States. Even the judges, with all other officers of the Union, will, as in the several States, be
| the choice, though a remote choice of the people themselves."
