Final answer:

Before 1913, U.S. Senators were selected by state legislatures, but the 17th Amendment changed this to direct election by the people.


Explanation:

Before the passage of the 17th Amendment in 1913, Senators were selected by state legislatures rather than by popular vote.

This changed with the 17th Amendment that established the direct election of Senators by the people.

This change was prompted by scandalous elections in the late 1800s and early 1900s, leading to a shift from appointments by state legislatures to direct voting by citizens.
