The framers designed the U.S. House of Representatives to be directly elected by the people. Each state's representation is based on population, with each state guaranteed at least one representative. Senators, on the other hand, were originally intended to be elected by state legislatures, though this changed with the passage of the 17th Amendment in 1913. The president and vice president are not directly elected by the people but rather through the Electoral College.
