Question

According to Bolivar, how should senators be chosen?
Background information: The Congress of Angostura was
assembled by Bolivar. In this speech, Bolívar gives his ideas
about government. Not all of his theories were accepted.
If the Senate were hereditary rather than elective, it
would, in my opinion, be the basis, the very soul of our
republic. In times of political conflict, this hereditary
Senate would arrest the thunderbolts of the government
and would repel any violent popular reaction.
-Simón de Bolívar:
Message to the Congress of Angostura, 1819
They should be chosen by the judges.

They should be elected by the people.
