Prior to the seventeenth amendment, who chose the members of the us senate?

State legislatures

Before the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment, the U. S. Senators were chosen by state legislatures. The amendment, however, changed this when it was passed by Congress on May 13, 1912 and ratified on April 8, 1913. This allowed voters to cast direct votes for senators.
