Answer: State legislatures

Before the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment, the U. S. Senators were chosen by state legislatures. The amendment, however, changed this when it was passed by Congress on May 13, 1912 and ratified on April 8, 1913. This allowed voters to cast direct votes for senators.

Match the participants of the French and Indian War with the territories they lost or gained after the Treaty of Paris of 1763.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Britain --- won territory and expanded empire

France --- lost territory and influence

Spain --- gained territory but did not settle it

American colonies --- gained territory and sense of unity

American Indians --- could not keep promised territory

Explanation:

The French and Indian War was a military conflict developed between 1754 and 1763 in North America, between Britain and France, for control of the territories adjacent to the Great Lakes.

During this conflict, the French were aided by Native Americans and, to a lesser extent, by the Spanish. In turn, the bulk of the British combatants were American settlers.

The end result of this war was the total annexation of the French colonies in America by Great Britain, as well as the secession of Louisiana to Spain by France.

For the Americans, this war meant the creation of a strong and unifying national identity, while for the Native Americans it meant a great loss of power in their ancestral territories.
