It didn't change the structure of the Constitution. It changed the structure of the government. Until ratification of the 17th Amendment, the Senate was the legislative body set up to represent the States. That's why each State had two Senators and they were elected by their respective State legislatures. The 17th Amendment allowed for popular election of the Senate and made them merely senior "clones" of those in the House of Representatives who were elected to represent the people of their districts, rather than their States.

Article I, Sec. 3 of the Constitution reads, in part: "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote."
The 17th Amendment states, in part: "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote."
