apr 8, 1913 - 17th Amendment Ratified

Description:

The 17th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on April 8, 1913, establishing the direct election of U.S. Senators by popular vote instead of being chosen by state legislatures. This amendment aimed to make the Senate more responsive to the public and reduce corruption and partisan manipulation at the state level, reflecting Progressive Era efforts to make government more democratic and accountable.
