Seventeenth
The Seventeenth Amendment was passed in 1913 and allowed for the citizens of each state to directly elect their Senators instead of the state legislature as had been the practice since the ratification of the Constitution.
The passage of the 17th Amendment occurred during the Progressive Era (1900-1920) which was a period of time focused on addressing concerns created by industrialization. Direct election of Senators was a goal of the Populist movement. Three other amendments were passed during the Progressive Era as well--income tax (16), prohibition (18), women's suffrage (19).
