Thomas Jefferson, the man who became the third president of the fledgling United States of America, the author of the Declaration of Independence, the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and the father of the University of Virginia, was born to Peter Jefferson, a citizen of Welsh origins who wielded a large amount of influence in Albemarle County, Virginia, and his wife Jane Randolph on 2 April 1743. Thomas was the third of ten children.
When his father died in 1757, he left "orders" that Thomas complete his education. Thomas, heeding the words of his father, entered the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg in 1760. Jefferson would later credit one of his math professors, a man by the name of Dr. Small, as being one of his biggest inspirations to excel in school. Peter Jefferson had also encouraged his children to pursue musical studies. Thomas was a talented violinist who played often at the weekly parties hosted by the Lieutenant Governor Francis Fauquier. It was through his interaction with Fauquier that Jefferson learned about the social, political, and parliamentary life of Europe which heavily influenced that in America.
After graduating from William and Mary, Jefferson studied law and in April 1764, after his 21st birthday, Jefferson assumed the management of his fathers estate and extensive lands. He was also named vestryman and a justice of the peace, positions he more or less inherited from his father. At this time, Jefferson developed his zeal for farming; an obsession that he would sustain for the rest of his life. Jefferson always believed that the United States should build its economy on agriculture, and not on industry. He simultaneously continued his studies of the law, which lead him to the writings of Lord Coke, a respected Whig party member who espoused the idea of religious freedom. Lord Coke's writings inspired Jefferson to reject Nathan Hale's assertion that Christianity was an inherent part of the laws in England, which inspired him in later years to write the Statute for Religions Freedom.
The reason actually had little to do with Somaliland (which is a relatively peaceful and stable country) but with the fear of other countries that this will cause more chaos in the neighbouring Somalia and maybe encourage other places in Africa to split and this would cause more wars and conflicts. <span />

Answer:
it would have made a huge impact on the USA's natural resources
Explanation:
Due to never making new energy sources, forests would have been devastated due to the increasing population and the need to use it for energy. coal also would have been used at a high rate and potentially could have been fully used up by this time today. pollution would be much worse and similar to China due to the high coal use.
Answer:
Correct answer is It was held in secret.
It originally met to write a whole new Constitution.
Explanation:
It was held in Pennsylvania State House, therefore it met in Philadelphia.
Only Rhode Island didn't sent its representative, therefore representatives of 12 states were present.
Of course, it was not held in secret as states had to choose their representatives before sending them.
Its purpose was not to write new Constitution, but to amend Articles of Confederation.
