The best thank you I have is trying to demonstrate depth of understanding.

One purpose of the Senate appears to be to protect the minority from the majority. Another appears to be to protect the majority from the mediocre results of democratic governance. These roles are never safe, politic, or popular. That's why they're appointed effectively for life.

I don't know what's "best". But, I think I now better understand why it was designed the way it is. Thank you.
