The 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, established the direct election of U.S. Senators by popular vote, replacing the previous system where state legislatures appointed them. Its purpose was to reduce corruption and increase democratic accountability in the Senate. This shift empowered voters and diminished the influence of political machines and state politics, fundamentally changing the dynamics of American politics by making senators more responsive to their constituents. As a result, it enhanced the democratic process and fostered greater engagement among the electorate.
