Answer:

The rapid increase in the colonial population in the 1600s/17th century was due to indentured servants, religious freedom found in the colonies, and the slave trade.

Explanation:

The rapid increase in the colonial population in the 1600s/17th century was due to indentured servants, religious freedom found in the colonies, and the slave trade. A lot of people in Europe (especially Britain), were seeking a better life whether it was to come over to escape paying their taxes/debt to the crown or to start a new life and they became an indentured servant. Back then, it was almost impossible to move to an upper class so many young people in their early 20s (mostly men, but some young women) took the voyage over to the New World to have a better life where after around seven years of working, they got freedom and some land that they could start a life for themselves. Some people, such as the Puritans, Pilgrims, and others were wanting to come to America to escape the religious persecution that was going on over in Britain where the Church of England (Anglian) was being practiced and it was separated from the Catholic church but it still had many Catholic practices and the puritans wanted to “purify” the church so they moved over to live out their new religion. A lot of Africans were also brought over from the slave trade to grow the new crops such as tobacco and work in the plantations in the South.

Summarize the system of checks and balances between the three branches of American government. In your opinion, is any one branc
Charra [1.4K]

The system of checks and balances is the American Federal Government's way of ensuring that each branch has its own responsibilities but also has responsibilities, limits, and obligations as it pertains to the other branches of government.

This has worked well for most of the country's history but since the 1930s, the Presidency/Executive branch has become the branch that is possibly more powerful than the rest, especially in the minds of the people.

This is seen in the modern era, with the Presidency leading legislative pushes and leading their parties representatives in the House and Senate.

To fix this, the first step would be for the Senate to regain its authority when it comes to Foreign Affairs. Starting in the 1950s, the Executive branch used legal but suspect schemes to circumvent Congress' singular right to Declare war.

So, for the last 17 years, America has been fighting a war on terrorism without a Congressional declaration of war. The last time Congress declared war was in 1942, so Korea/Vietnam/Gulf War I/etc. were all accomplished without a Congressional declaration.

What we will need to see if Congress stepping up and acting like a co-equal branch of Government, instead of a branch subservient to the interests of the executive branch.
