They knew they needed to replace the British government after the war was over, and the Continental Congress suggested that each state write its own constitution.

After the American War of Independence had begun, the Congress asked the  13 original colonies to form governments for themselves, so the colonies began writing and adopting new constitutions to become sovereign and independent states. By 1780, every state had a written constitution.  Under the Articles of Confederation, the power of the national government was centered in the Congress. However, the national government was weak and states functioned like independent countries. So, at the 1787 Constitutional Convention, delegates from the different states decided to a plan a stronger federal government with three branches (executive, legislative and judicial) all of equal power. As a result, the US Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia.

What is a central belief of animism? A. One should give to the poor. B. All natural things have spirits. C. Ancestors should be
aleksklad [387]

The correct answer for this question is answer B. All natural things have spirits. Animism began as far back as when Homo Erectus were roaming the earth. We aren't sure if they practiced animism explicitly, but they did form that mindset that spirits exist, thus beginning the process of symbolic thought.  But animism always refers to all natural objects, even furniture that has a little natural material in it, like cotton, has a soul.
