The economic base of the Dutch colony in the New Amsterdam was Trade.
A successful Dutch settlement named New Amsterdam grew up on the Southern tip of the Manhattan Island. Like the English settlers, Dutch, however, did not show much interest in Agriculture, and they were interested primarily in the Fur trade. They were also involved in the trade of Tobacco and supplied their Indian trade partners with Guns and Ammunition. Alcohol was another important trade item for the West India Company. To make this trade more convenient they introduced Wampum as a kind of currency.
Italy was not actually a unified country during that time period, it was instead comprised of many city-states (Milan, Venice etc.). Therefore Italy as a whole would not have been able to fund any of the explorers because they were not united as Italy. As well, because Italy was not unified, it was not as powerful as countries like Spain, France and England.
wait that is not a question
The reason why America chose a Bicameral System was because, one the framers and the americans knew the system from England, and it showed balance between powers of the government and of the people which help set up the Nation we have today.
Hope this Helps
