Did this change  bring the government closer to the people or did it change the way elections

The fact that now senators are directly chosen by the people undoubtely brings government closer to the citizens of each state.

Senators tend to have more name recognition than representatives, and when they campaign, they embody the issues of their states, which helps people understand what they do, and make their decision.

Are senators more accountable to the people now or are  senators mainly concerned with re-election?

Most politicians are concerned about their re-election, because their political power depends on being elected. However, to be re-elected, they have to convince their voters, and this creates accountability with the people.
