Answer:

Prior to the Seventeenth Amendment, some senatorial candidates attempted to get elected into office by buying votes.

Explanation:

Until 1913, Senators were elected by the legislatures of the states and not by popular vote, which in many cases resulted in corruption cases, both by vote buying and influence peddling; in that year the Seventeenth Amendment was enacted, which established the senatorial election via direct popular election, thus eliminating corruption as a way to become Senator.

Lostsunrise [7]

In Thomas Malthusian Theory its weaknesses is that theory is not true. The truth is if the population grow continuously the resources will also grow and then the needed resources would also grow and either one of them will exceed or would maintain their balance.  While the weaknesses of Demographic Transition theory is based on the experience of countries that is industrialized this forget that a develop country is through a tourist industry.
