Explanation:

In the early 1900s, Progressive Era reformers sought to increase citizen participation in government by supporting the direct election of senators.

Reason:

Along with the promotion of religious tolerance, women's rights, mental health and environmental awareness, Progressives also had political concerns. They felt that individuals should have as much direct influence on government as possible. Thus, they supported the direct election of Senators. Up until the early 20th century, Senators were picked by States legislatures. It took an amendment to the Constitution to make this election change.
