What does the 17th Amendment mean for dummies?

An amendment is simply a change to the Constitution. In 1913, the 17th Amendment gave people the right to vote for their senators instead of the state legislature; this is called direct election, where the people choose who is in office. Why was the 17th Amendment necessary? Nevertheless, the amendment was widely seen as necessary to reduce the influence of big business and other special interests on the selection of senators and to prevent vacancies or frequent turnover in the Senate caused by party wrangling or changes of party leadership at the state level.

Why was the Seventeenth Amendment created?

When the House passed proposed amendments for the direct election of Senators in 1910 and 1911, they included a "race rider" meant to bar Federal intervention in cases of racial discrimination among voters. Over a year later, the House accepted the change, and on, the resolution became the 17th amendment.
