<u>Answer:</u>

<em>According to texts, despotism can be defined as a form of government where in a single entity rules. </em>

<em></em>

This entity has the absolute power and say. Conventionally, this entity is an individual. This sort of despotism is evident in autocracy. But history has referred to societies that limit respect and power to a group has referred to as despotic. Jefferson was very vocal about the rights and duties of the people. According to him, all men are created equal; hence they all have a shot at equal rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Governments of various nations are appointed to protect these rights. But when this same government becomes destructive, and tries to exercise absolute despotic power, it is the duty of the people to alter and abolish it. And also form a new government which has a strong foundation with the motive of safety of happiness of the people.

Which of the following did NOT shape the character of English settlements in America?
stepan [7]

The correct answer is The colonies promoted freedom of religion.

Explanation:

English settlers first arrived on the American continent at the beginning of the 17th century and over the next years and centuries colonies were formed mainly along the east coast of the continent. These colonies partially resembled England but also were different in some aspects.

In terms of religion, the colonies were mainly restrictive. This can be explained due to the great influence of puritans who emphasized the importance of Protestantism and morals related to it. Indeed, due to this belief in some colonies such as Massachusetts those considered to be witches were persecuted. According to this, the colonies were not characterized by freedom of religion.
