Answer:
The Americans had the right to cat their vote for the senator of their choice. The Senators on the other hand now had equal right in the assembly .
Explanation:
The Seventeenth Amendment altered the process for electing United States senators and changed the way vacancies would be filled. Originally, the Constitution required state legislatures to fill Senate vacancies.
Passed by Congress May 13, 1912, and ratified April 8, 1913, the 17th amendment modified Article I, section 3, of the Constitution by allowing voters to cast direct votes for U.S. Senators. The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, made the Senate an assembly where the states would have equal representation.
