The Seventeenth Amendment provided for a popular vote to select senators from each state, rather than being chosen by state legislatures. This shifted the power to elect senators from political bosses and state legislators to the general public, making the Senate more directly accountable to the people. It also helped to decrease corruption and improve the democratic process within the Senate.
