The 17th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1913, established the direct election of U.S. Senators by the voters of each state, rather than being chosen by state legislatures. This amendment was a significant reform of the electoral process that aimed to make the government more accountable to the people and reduce corruption associated with legislative selection.
