Originally, U.S. Senators were to be chosen by the legislatures of the states (Article 1, Section 3). So, senators were not elected by the people directly. However, the 18th Amendment, ratified in 1913, changed the process by which senators are to be elected. Now, senators are elected by the people of the states, not the legislatures.
After the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, Senators are by law directly elected by the voters in their respective states. Before 1913 it was up to the states to decide how they would choose their Senators. Some were directly elected, some were chosen by State Legislatures.
The legislatires of the states rather than the people elected the Senators under Article I, Section 3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the original Constitution. The Seventeenth Amendment changed that to provide that Senators be elected by the direct vote of the people.
There are approximately 100 senators in the United States senate. They are elected by a general election held by the citizens.
The provisions of the seventeenth amendment were that the U.S. senators would be elected by the people.
