Why did it take so long after the start of the Revolutionary War for the Continental Congress to declare independence from Great
aalyn [17]

The correct answer is:

B. It took a while for the Continental Congress to decide whether they were fighting the British government for repeal of its new policies toward the colonies, or for complete independence from Britain.

Explanation:

<em>The American Revolution started as a protest to British policies</em>, mainly to the <em>Stamp Act of 1765</em>, where taxes where raised without representation and <u>the colonists, who saw themselves as Englishmen</u>, fought against these taxes with the allegation that they deserved the same rights as the Englishmen that lived in Britain; and formed <em>the Continental Congress to demand respect for their rights, while being loyal to the Crown</em>.

Colonists questioned if they should remained loyal or if they should seek independence, but it was until <em>Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776 </em>(a pamphlet that exposed the reasons why the 13 Colonies should be independent from Britain) when this question gained force and the <em>Continental Congress assigned Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence</em>.

olganol [36]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Caudillos were regional military leaders who provided order in Latin America.

Explanation:

Caudillos were Latin American leaders who based their power on personal ties and clientelistic networks. The peak of the caudillos was in the 19th century, although caudillos still occur in some Latin American countries.

Caudillos in Latin America originated in Spanish colonial policy, which provided a small number of professional soldiers with large numbers of soldiers recruited from the local population to maintain public order. The salaries of these leaders were negligible, but they enjoyed great prestige and fueros, privileges that exempted them from certain taxes or duties.

Many caudillos had a personality cult and even nowadays emotions sometimes run high when the actions of a caudillo are discussed. Many caudillos are still incredibly popular or hated, even when they died 150 years ago.
