17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Direct Election of U.S. Senators (1913)
The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, made the Senate an assembly where the states would have equal representation. Each state legislature would elect two senators to 6-year terms. Late in the 19th century, some state legislatures deadlocked over the election of a senator when different parties controlled different houses, and Senate vacancies could last months or years. In other cases, special interests or political machines gained control over the state legislature. Progressive reformers dismissed individuals elected by such legislatures as puppets and the Senate as a "millionaire’s club" serving powerful private interests.
One Progressive response to these concerns was the "Oregon system," which utilized a state primary election to identify the voters’ choice for Senator while pledging all candidates for the state legislature to honor the primary’s result. Over half of the states adopted the "Oregon system," but the 1912 Senate investigation of bribery and corruption in the election of Illinois Senator William Lorimer indicated that only a constitutional amendment mandating the direct election of Senators by a state’s citizenry would allay public demands for reform.
When the House passed proposed amendments for the direct election of Senators in 1910 and 1911, they included a "race rider" meant to bar Federal intervention in cases of racial discrimination among voters. This would be done by vesting complete control of Senate elections in state governments. A substitute amendment by Senator Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas provided for the direct election of Senators without the "race rider." It was adopted by the Senate on a close vote before the proposed constitutional amendment itself passed the Senate. Over a year later, the House accepted the change, and on April 8, 1913, the resolution became the 17th amendment.
Answer:
The Spanish colonization affected the native americans in many ways. The Spanish brought foreign sicknesses that killed a good amount of the natives population, they took land in their mining expeditions, they took natural resources, and they forced the Natives into slavery and forced them to practice the Christian religion.
Explanation:
The Spanish and Native relationship changed in many ways throughout their whole experiences together, mostly negative changes. When the Spanish arrived in America the illnesses they carried with them were things they had already experienced therefore they had adapted to be immune. The Natives had not been exposed to these illnesses though so they were impacted by them greatly. The land the Spanish took in their mining trips was taken forcefully. Since the Spanish were taking so much land the Natives were losing land and therefore also losing the natural resources they needed to survive.
