Question

In 1900, how were members of the United States Senate chosen? A. They were elected by the House of Representatives. B. They were elected by the people. C. They were appointed by their state legislatures. D. They were appointed by the governor of their state.

Answer 1

The usual elections were held by state legislation, so the few chosen members were based off what the state(s) legislators deemed as qualified. Then came the 17th amendment that gave the rights of choosing to the people, but this was didn't happen till 1913. So you can eliminate it to 2 options, B and C. It's depends what year. ;) I would personaly choose B.

Hope I helped. :)
