A)direct election of U.S. Senators

Explanation: The 17th Amendment (1913) changed the way U.S. Senators were elected. Before this Amendment was added in 1913, U.S. Senators were chosen by the legislatures of each state. The 17th Amendment allowed for the direct election of U.S. Senators, meaning the popular vote of each state would decide the outcome.
