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.

Leonardo da Vinci <em>was famous for his designs, art, cartography, geology, and studies.

Most of his pictures and paintings are in art galleries and museums.  One of his most known paintings is the Mona Lisa.  He made many maps of many different places.  He was also interested in geology.  He studied many different things, including math, reading, and writing backwards.  People think he wrote backwards because he didn't want to smear the ink, but others thought he didn't want people to steal his ideas. </em>
