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.

Amanda [17]
Congress was split, as the French had helped the young United States during the Revolutionary War, however, many where confused what direction the revolution was going (spoiler alert, the French Revolution traded a monarchy for a dictatorship with Napoleon at the helm  - so it didin't accomplish a whole lot).

Although both parties(the Democratic-Republicans and Federalists) had different hopes for the french revolution, they both agreed that war would be economically not possible and would possibly open the U.S up to attack, so the U.S remained neutral.
