By the time California elected to become the thirty-first federal state of the USA in 1850,it was
already a multicultural society.这句话中elected为什么不是was elected?
By the time California elected to become the thirty-first fe
如果深入探讨下加州成为合众国的历史,要理解这句话就比较容易了.

这句话中 elect 是主动语态表达,elect 的意思等同 choose.
当时是加州的居民通过民主方式表决,选择加入美国联邦,成为第31个州.
并非“被选中”成为合众国的一员,所以不用被动语态.

仅此而已.
