British - As in New France, Native American populations helped the English settlers stay alive; Native Americans gave supplies to the new arrivals and taught them to survive. Unlike the French, however, the English did not treat the Native Americans well in return.
French - Fur trade with the Native Americans gave the French a seemingly endless supply of furs. The trading relationship between the French and the Native Americans was an equitable one: the French needed the Native Americans to provide and cure the furs, while the Native Americans needed the French for European items like metal pots.
Explanation: Their so-called Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise in honor of its architects, Connecticut delegates Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth) provided a dual system of congressional representation. In the House of Representatives each state would be assigned a number of seats in proportion to its population.
