The Albany Plan of Union was a plan to place the British North American colonies under a more centralized government. On July 10, 1754, representatives from seven of the British North American colonies adopted the plan. Although never carried out, the Albany Plan was the first important proposal to conceive of the <span>colonies as a collective whole united under one government. Hope this helps

John Locke (1632-1704)John Locke was English philosopher who formulated one of the most influential theories of contractual government. He theorized that individuals granted political rights to their rulers but retained personal right to life, liberty and property and that any ruler that violated those rights was subject to disposition. In effect, Locke's political thought relocated sovereignty, removing it from rulers as divine agents and vesting it in the people of a society.Louis XVI (reigned 1774-1793)King Louis XVI was the king of France. He was able to raise more revenue from the overburdened peasantry, so he sought to increase taxes on the French nobility, which had long been exempt from many levies. In May 1789, he called the Estates General into session at the royal palace of Versailles in hopes that it would authorize new taxes. After revolution was declared, he became a victim of the guillotine along with his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette after being found guilty of treason.Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794)Maximilien Robespierre was a lawyer by training who had emerged during the revolution as a ruthless but popular, radical known as "the Incorruptible". He dominated the Committee of Public Safety, the executive authority of the Republic. He helped to promote the revolutionary agenda.

The North was mainly an urban society in which people held jobs.
The South was primarily an agricultural society in which people lived in small villages and on farms and plantations.
Because of their cultural differences, people of the North and South found it difficult to agree on social and political issues.
The North was a manufacturing region, and its people favored tariffs that protected factory owners and workers from foreign competition.
Southerners opposed tariffs that would cause prices of manufactured goods to increase. Planters were also concerned that England might stop buying cotton from the South if tariffs were added.
While there were several differences between the North and the South, the issues related to slavery increasingly divided the nation and led to the Civil War.
A major conflict was states’ rights versus strong central government.
