The seventeenth amendment to the US Constitution, which was ratified on May 31, 1913, made it so that senators would be elected directly to the senate by voters. Before this Senators were appointed by the state legislators (Legislators from Delaware would choose the Senators for Delaware etc.). Before this only the representatives were directly elected. The amendment was one of the parts of the platform for the populists and later, the progressives.
