The 17th amendment was ratified in 1913. So before the ratification, the senators were chosen by the states legislature, but after the ratification it was a popular vote that disided the senator.

Answer: 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.

What caused this demographic switch ?

Natali5045456 [20]

The argument is that the mortality transition occurs exogenously and is the cause of a subsequent decline in fertility and rise in urbanization. This exogenous demographic process plays out over time, and has effects on economic, social, and political development. Hope this helps. :)
