The Progressive movement sought to address issues such as political corruption, corporate influence in politics, and social injustices that were prevalent in the early 20th century. These problems culminated in a demand for direct democracy and greater voter empowerment, leading to the call for amendments like the 17th Amendment, which established the direct election of U.S. senators. This shift aimed to reduce the power of political machines and ensure that elected officials were more accountable to the electorate. Ultimately, the Progressive push for reforms sought to create a more equitable and responsive political system.
