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.

In a society ruled with the idea of divine right, what would cause people not to question the government?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Divine right is the idea that a ruler deserves to govern because God or some other higher power said so or appointed that person to rule.

This is how many monarchs like Louis XIV of France tightened his grip on the French Kingdom.  Before his reign, the nobility often disagreed with the central authority of the monarch.  However, with Louis XIV, the monarch wasn't simply a man in a crown, but a ruler appointed by God himself- by extension, the King is God's will.  He became known as the Sun King- they all revolved around <em>him.</em>

Therefore, if you went against the King's will, you go against God's will.

Obviously, this only works in religious countries, which 17th century France certainly was.  On the contrary, in that same time period, The Dutch Republic, which was a leading country in religious tolerance and secularism, had no divine ruler, instead using a federal republican system.
