In New England, land was the most important component of wealth from first settlement through the American Revolution<span> (1775</span>–<span>1783). In nearly all of New England, large-scale commercial agriculture was not possible because of climate, topography, and the quality of the soil. In the interior farming predominated (supplemented, early on, by trapping) but most of these farms were engaged in subsistence agriculture that provided, at most, a small surplus for their owners. The distribution of land was fairly egalitarian in nearly all of New England because of the custom of dividing land among heirs. Over time, however, there was social stratification as a result of land speculation.</span>

Slavery was common among Athenians as they used thousands of slaves to work in their private homes, factories and mines. Slaves captured in war and came from all over the Mediterranean. Slaves were the property of their master. A slave owner could sell, rent, give or leave them.

Even though this is unlikely to happen, ammendment 1 would be the best choice because the first ammendment protects the right of the people to peacefully assemble so a lawyer could state that the police had no right to arrest or detain them because it is their constitutional right to protest peacefully.
