Senators were previously chosen by state legislative, before or up until 1911.

Omar Lopez · Answer 2

17th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution: Direct Election of U. S. Senators. Americans did not directly vote for senators for the first 125 years of the Federal Government. The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, stated that senators would be elected by state legislatures.
