Answer:

In 1911, the House of Representatives approved the Joint Resolution of Assembly 39 (House Joint Resolution 39), proposing a constitutional amendment for the direct election of the senators. However, it included a race provision (Race Rider) created to block federal intervention in cases of racial discrimination among voters. A substitute amendment created by Senator Joseph L. Bristow (R-KS) eliminated that race provision. The amendment, Joint Resolution, was adopted by the Senate, in a close vote on May 1911. More than a year later, the House accepted this change, and the amendment was sent to the states for ratification. On April 8, 1913, three-quarters of the states had ratified the proposed amendment, and it was officially included as the 17th amendment.

The domination of Texas politics by Republicans after the Civil War ended (a) with the election of governor Richard Coke in 1873
sammy [17]

Answer:

In an armed standoff in the capital between the Republican governor and the Democratic legislature in 1872.

Explanation:

Before the domination ended, the republican representatives in this state always won by republican party in a land slide. But the resentment that people have due to the civil war divided the state's opinion on some issues. This resulted in a standoff between the two parties. Even though eventually the Republican still won the election, the total votes between the two only separated by small margin.
