Ecological systems theory provides one approach to answering this question. The ecological systems theory was developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner. Bronfenbrenner believed that a person's development was affected by everything in their surrounding environment.
Answer:
Three preconditions of development are increased trade, improved transportation networks, and entrepreneurship.
Explanation:
In the context of W. W. Rostow's preconditions of economic development, an economy begins to transition from a subsistence-based economy based on agriculture and barter where there is only limited amounts of capital into a society where there is increased specialization and increasing transportation networks in order to foment trade. Because people start to generate more income from trade and production surpluses, there is greater entrepreneurship and industriousness. Societies begin to trade primary products with other nations. At present, the notion of sustainable development is dominant in the literature and in development spheres like NGOs and International organizations. This entails some controls of population pressure and efficient, renewable uses of environmental resources.
That really depends as politics were constantly changing through the course of history. If you're referring to the time around the constitution, then the main political parties would be the Federalists and the Anti Federalists in which the Federalists were in favor of a strong central government while the anti Federalists scorned the idea in fear of a repeat of their much hated former king.
