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.

DaniilM [7]

Many of the conquistadors that went to the Americas had gained their skills fighting in D.The Reconquista.

<h3>What was the Reconquista?</h3>

The Reconquista was a conflict in Spain that lasted for more than 700 years and involved the Christian people of Spain trying to take back lands that had been captured by the Muslims who invaded in 711 CE.

The Reconquista eventually came to an end in 1492 and fighting in it gave several conquistadors the military skill they needed to get to the Americas and defeat the various empires they found there.
