Before 1913 and the passage of the 17th Amendment, Senators were elected by state legislatures. The power to elect Senators today is vested in the hands of Voters.

Further Explanations:

The legislative body also called the United States legislature formally known as State legislature in 25 states and in other 19 states, it is known as “General Assembly”. In regard to the composition of the legislative body, it is a bicameral legislature, with two houses of legislation. The Upper House or “Senate” consists less adherents as equated to the Lower House. Senators exercise the special power to commend the selections and impeachment done by the governor. Since 1913 the senators were designated by the State legislature but after implementation of the 17th amendment act, the authority to elect senators was transferred into the hands of electors of the realm.

The amendment as passed in 1913 changed the status of the election of senator form indirect to direct superseding the article 1, Clause 1 and 2 the constitution authorizing the inhabitant the authority to decide the person to be chosen for the post.
