The Sons of Liberty, a well-organized Patriot paramilitary political organization shrouded in secrecy, was established to undermine British rule in colonial America and was influential in organizing and carrying out the Boston Tea Party. The origins and founding of the Sons of Liberty is unclear, but history records the earliest known references to the organization to 1765 in the thriving colonial port cities of Boston and New York. More than likely, the Boston and New York chapters of the Sons of Liberty were deliberately established at the same time and worked as an underground network in conjunction with each other. It is believed the Sons of Liberty was formed out of earlier smaller scale like-minded Patriot organizations such as the “Boston Caucus Club” and “Loyal Nine.” Membership was made up of males from all walks of colonial society but was notorious in recruiting tavern mongers, wharf rats, and other seedy characters looking to cause trouble. Under the cover of darkness, the Boston chapter of the organization held their meetings under the “Liberty Tree,” and the New York chapter under the “Liberty Pole.” The “Liberty Tree” was located in Hanover Square, “the most public part” of Boston and was a 120-year-old “stately elm” with branches that “seem’d to touch the skies” according to the Boston Gazette. Taverns, with owners sympathetic to the Patriot cause, were also the favorite meeting places of the Sons of Liberty. The Green Dragon Tavern in Boston was the tavern of choice for meetings of the Sons of Liberty. Despite very little documentary evidence as to the origins of the organization, Boston Patriot Samuel Adams is often credited as being the founder and leader of the Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty was most likely organized in the summer of 1765 as a means to protest the passing of the Stamp Act of 1765. Their motto was, “No taxation without representation.”

How did each group value Minnesota’s natural resources (like land and rivers): Dakota:
Whitepunk [10]

Each group valued Minnesota's natural resources such as land and rivers for a different purpose. The Dakota used natural resources as a source of livelihood.

European Americans, on the other hand, aimed to use Minnesota's natural resources as a way to establish properties on the fertile frontier.

Therefore, the Dakota Indian group had a deep connection to the land of Minnesota, using its resources to support its community through fishing and hunting.

European American settlers, on the other hand, were interested in transforming the land into a state with the implementation of trade and property to generate wealth.

The Dakota were then threatened and forced to cede their Minnesota lands by signing treaties in 1851.

Which two of the following were British documents that influenced the creation of the US Constitution?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The correct answer is "The Carta Magna" and "The Petition of Rights".

The Carta Magna was a document issued on Juen 15th, 1215. It marked the first precedent for the limitations of the exercise of the British Crown's powers over the citizens which in this case were the Barons.

The Petition of Right is a constitutional document issued in 1628 which further limited the Royal Crown's powers by restricting non-parliamentary taxations, imprisonment without cause, and the use of martial law.

These documents served as a reference for the Constitutional Convention to elaborate the draft of the Us Constitution, as they proposed limitations to the Federal Government which was to be formed.
