1 answer:

8 0

The Magna was a big influence of the Constitution of the United States of America as well as its individual states. The influence it has was formed by Americans who lived in the 18th Century who believe the Magna Carta symbolized the people’s rights against a tyrannical ruler. This has shaped American’s attitude of distrust of strong political power. Due to this political point of view most of the state constitutions incorporated declarations of rights intended to ensure a list of protections and immunities for individual citizens from the state government. The United States also adopted the Bill of Rights because of this political view.

Answer:

Because they had a massive exploration by the mother country (the one responsible by the conquest), which took a considerable part of their goods.

Explanation:

The Latin American colonies were different from the British Colonies (Thirteen Colonies and Canada) because they were explored massively by Portugal and Spain during the three centuries of colonialism. The Iberian countries were following an economic and political idea called Mercantilism which, as the main aspect, was the exploration of a colony, taking the goods and sending it to the mother country. Only a small part was left for the colony. And why those colonies don't rebel against the mother country, you may ask. Because since the very moment the Iberian countries began their colonization, they didn't leave any possibility of revolution, with laws and severe control of the settlers and natives. Any try of revolution or riot was massively dismissed with violence.
