The United States Constitution sets the number of Senators for each state at two.

Originally, each state selected its senators by action of their respective legislatures. This was changed by the 17th Amendment to the Constitution passed in 1913 creating the direct election of senators in each state.

The movement to change came from the progressives of the time and a number of changes in American political life can be traced to that period.
