For 125 years the Federal government adopted the way of electing senators stated in the constitution of 1788, which consists of electing senators by state legislatures. During the 1890s the House of Representatives passed several proposals of a new constitutional amendment for the direct election of senators, but it was until April 8th, 1913 that the 17th amendment was included for direct election of senators.

The top priority of New England colonists was Fishing.

The American colonies generally focused on harnessing the resources that their environment had. New England was next to rivers and the ocean so they generally focused on water based activities.

This was why they had interests in activities such as:

fishing

whaling

shipbuilding

They also had non-water based activities such as cattle rearing and logging. All these paled in comparison to the interest placed on fishing however as this was their largest economic activity.

In conclusion, fishing was the major economic activity of the New England colonies.

Why do you think the delegates at Versailles refused to allow German delegation
timofeeve [1]
When the treaty of Versailles was negotiated (without the Germans mind you) they didn’t refuse to allow German delegation. They didn’t invite the Germans because they were under the impression that the Germans had surrendered (instead of the cease war that meant neither side won.) Since Germany had “lost,” the loser had no say in the terms of the treaty and was forced to accept it.

The treaty of Versailles was one of the causes of World War II.
