The Seventeenth Amendment was accepted by the Senate in 1912 and ratified in 1913. The main reason for the amendment was the progressive movement for greater public participation in the political process. It authorized the popular election of senators and was only accepted after four attempts (every attempt was denied for the so-called "millionaires" club, the Senate at that time).
