Answer:

The 17th amendment to the Constitution

Step-by-step explanation:

Voters have selected U.S. senators in the privacy of the voting booth since 1913. This system of “direct election” was not what the framers of the U.S. Constitution had in mind, however, when they met at the Constitutional Convention in 1787.
