@Ms. Jamie they literally did ask
Sure! I'd be happy to help you with your questions. Let's go through each question one by one:
Q1: How did mercantilism contribute to the American Revolution?
To answer this question, you need to understand what mercantilism is and how it relates to the American Revolution. Mercantilism is an economic theory and practice that was common in the 16th to 18th centuries, which aimed to increase a nation's wealth through the regulation of trade. Under mercantilism, the American colonies were seen by the British monarchy as sources of wealth and raw materials, with restrictions on their economic activities in order to benefit British interests. The correct answer is D) it increased the crown's need for gold and silver. The British government implemented strict trade regulations and levied heavy taxes on the colonies to support its own economic needs, which ultimately led to increased resentment and dissatisfaction among the colonists, and contributed to the American Revolution.
Q2: What is a legitimate government?
To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of legitimate government. A legitimate government is one that is accepted by its people and other governments as the sovereign authority of a nation. It is based on the principle of popular sovereignty, which means that the government gets its power from the people and can exist only with their consent. The correct answer is D) one that is accepted by its people and other governments as the sovereign authority of a nation.
Q3: What belief is the principle of popular sovereignty based upon?
To answer this question, you need to understand the principle of popular sovereignty. Popular sovereignty is based on the belief that the government gets its power from the people and can exist only with their consent. It emphasizes the idea that the people have the ultimate authority to govern themselves and make decisions about their own government. The correct answer is B) the government gets its power from the people and can exist only with their consent.
Q4 Part A: Which of the following best explains the main differences among royal, proprietary, and charter colonies?
To answer this question, you need to understand the different types of colonies and their governance structures. Royal colonies were directly governed by the king or queen, with governors appointed by the crown. Proprietary colonies were organized by individuals or groups who were granted land by the king or queen, and they had more autonomy in their governance. Charter colonies were established through royal charters, which granted individuals or groups the authority to govern themselves. The correct answer is C) royal colonies had governors who were appointed by the king, proprietary colonies were organized by a person who was granted land, and charter colonies were led by governors elected by male property owners.
Q4 Part B: Why were differences among the three types of colonies-- royal, proprietary, and charter--important?
To answer this question, you need to consider the significance of the different types of colonies. The establishment of royal, proprietary, and charter colonies had important implications for the future development of the United States. For example, the boundaries of these colonies became the state lines in the thirteen original states, which is important for understanding the geography and political structure of the country. Additionally, the relative levels of self-government and autonomy of each type of colony influenced the attitudes and actions of the colonists towards the British Crown, and played a role in the buildup of tensions that eventually led to the American Revolution. The correct answer is C) charter colonies, due to their freedom of self-government, might not have rebelled without the anger and resentment against the crown of the royal colonies.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
