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.

Mars2501 [29]

The correct answer is A. The man who assassinated Kennedy.

Explanation

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) was the president of the United States from 1961 to 1963 when he was killed in the city of Dallas in the state of Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald, who days later would also be killed by Jack Ruby in a confusing episode when he was being taken to an investigation before a judge. The reasons for Lee Harvey Oswald to assassinate the president are uncertain, but when he was killed a few days after the President's assassination there was no clarity about the fact beyond the insistent self-declaration as innocent of Harvey Oswald. So, the correct answer is A. The man who assassinated Kennedy.
