History

5 0

Answer:

Franklin has the rare distinction of having signed all three of the major agreements that freed the colonies from British rule and founded the United States as an independent nation: the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Paris, and the Constitution of the United States.

In 1776 the Continental Congress assigned Franklin to a commission tasked with writing a formal document to justify the decision of the colonies to cut political ties with Britain. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman were among the key members of the committee. Jefferson was given the task of writing the first draft by the committee. While a talented writer, Franklin took a back seat in drafting the paper, blaming poor health for his lack of participation.

What allowed that land bridge over what is now the Bering strait to form?
Delvig [45]

According to the most accepted theory, the glaciation, or drastic drop of temperatures in the northern hemisphere of the planet spreading ice and snow well below the Arctic Circle, causes the sea level of all the oceans in the world to fall some 60 feet around all the coastlines, including the area of the Bering Strait. Furthermore, it is believed that the remaining body of water currently passing between the Arctic Circle and the Pacific Ocean froze up forming a thick layer of ice, which allowed the transit of both humans and animals between the American and Asian continents.
