  What factors led to the overwhelmingly high mortality rate among the early jamestown colonists

History

Lack of incentive - The lack of incentive among the colonists to complete important tasks led to the tasks not getting done. Many settlers were "gentlemanly" - Since most of the settlers considered themselves "gentlemanly", they considered the hard work of a settler "beneath" them and consequently did not get most of the basic things needed to survive done.
Expectations of finding gold - The expectations of finding gold (and mining it) led to people neglecting things such as gathering food, setting up shelter, etc. Location - The location that the settlers chose to settle in at was great for defending against naval incursions but terrible for living conditions. Bad Relations with Natives- The relations with the local Native Americans(which were all mistakenly grouped up into the Powhatan Indians) were not as good as they could be; if they had had a better relationship they could have traded for food and/or shelter which could have led to lower mortality rates

Bess [88]

Answer:

Checks and balances

Explanation:

The veto was first applied by President George Washington on April 5, 1792, and the first successful overcoming of the veto by Congress occurred on March 3, 1845 (veto by President John Tyler). At the same time, in the entire history of the US presidency, a total of 1,508 vetoes have been introduced (an average of 6.7 veto per year) (excluding the so-called “pocket veto” - a pocket veto that cannot be overcome), and 1117 of them were overcome. The fact that only 7.3% of the bills that the US President vetoed was eventually passed by the US Congress, clearly indicates the effectiveness of this manifestation of checks and balances (veto rights).
