<p>Before the 17th amendment, the legislatures chose the senators.</p>
<p>However, House Representatives were chosen directly by the people.
And by legislatures, I meant state Legislatures.</p>
<p>Thank you Political Protege. I thought you might you and you did! :)</p>
<p>No problem. I gobble that kinda stuff up.</p>
<p>I want to just go on a tangent here: what decades of music do you think were the best? Out of modern music, so from the '50s.
I say:
'70s
'60s
'90s
'80s
'50s
'00s.</p>
<p>60’s, early 70’s.MAYBE some from the 80’s?</p>
<p>In popular music: Probably the 90’s-00’s.
In classical music: 1600-1760.</p>
<p>In pre-modern music, I would say 1860 to 1920.</p>
<p>80s
i don’t know i just have a thing for the eighties</p>
<p>and kinda the 00s just cause thats the music i’ve grown up with</p>
<p>But those are the ones I like the most
the best- '60s</p>
<p>I think I would say 60s and 70s. I love the Beatles and Elton John!</p>
<p>^WIN!!! <em>highfives</em> The Beatles!!! YEAH!! You are now the COOLEST person on this thread! 
:P</p>
<p>Hey, I actually think beatlesdisturbed is coolest by your definition, I mean, he has the Beatles in his name! (Despite being an upperclassmen…right?).
Best Beatle? During the Beatle years, Lennon. After, Probably McCartney.</p>
<p>Wow, ok, poking my head in late in the game… I’m class of 2015 too. After reading the first couple pages I feel a tad intimidated by what some of you are taking. </p>
<p>Anyhoo, what I think my course schedule will be is as follows:</p>
<p>Spanish 2 (hopefully Honors)
Geometry (also hoping for Honors)
Physics
9th grade English
Religion 1
Photography 1</p>
<p>It’s not the most advanced schedule, but whatever, I need to learn time management first. </p>
<p>So… What’s going on?</p>
<p>Yeah, my schedule is somewhere in my room??? I just found out my district has a Academy but, I don’t live within 20 miles of there. * Godzilla GAWR*
