<span>The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures." </span>If we didn't have the 17th Amendment the states wouldn't have a vote because the people choose who they want to be the state Senator because they how he/she will think like they do and vote how they would vote
Hope this helps, also hope i did the right Amendment lol, have a good night
