History 5 Qs


1. How did the colonists unite America?

Thw colonists fought with the British soldiers and the colonists got helped

from France. By proclaimming The Declaration of Independence, the colonists

united America.


2. How did the legislature take part in the structure of the federal government?

There were two parts in the legislature. The Senate stood for the States and the

Houses of Representatives stood for the people's interests in the States. The

legislature made laws and impeached the president.


3. How did the American revolution happen?

Britian ruled the 13 Colonies with absolute power and made lots of

acts and these made the colonists discontent. Also, the British

government passed the Intolerable Acts. The colonists feared that Britian

would rule them with absolute power and so the American revolution happened.

4. Why did the people in the Enlightenment object to absolute power?

The people in the Enlightenment objected to absolute power because they knew that

everyone was equal even the kings and they have many rights by reading

Enlightenment thinkers' writings. If the king ruled with absolute power and

suppressed their natural rights, then not everyone was equal. So they objected

to absolute power.

5. Explain one of the British acts that created economic discontent

amongst the American colonists.

The 13 Colonies must sell their raw materials to Britian so that Britian could

buy their raw materials at a low price. But then the 13 colonists would earn less money

and so this British act created economic discontent amongst the American colonists.

Muky, you demonstrate an excellent train of thought in answering question four.

As always, I appreciate consistent writing, with regard to tense, using the past tense to speak of the past and using the present to state facts.
