Answer:
Roger Sherman is widely regarded as the founding father of the United States of America because of his contributions to American democracy and lawmaking in general.
Remarkably, he is the only person to sign on the Constitution, Articles of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, and the Continental Association which are considered the four major documents of United States history.
His contributions to the drafting of the Constitution include:
- serving as a delegate to Philadelphia Convention in 1787 that later produced the Constitution
- proposing the Great Compromise
- signing the four most important documents in US history
So, this is an odd question (unless you live in the UK).
I am an American, and impressment was largely used against American sailors by the British.
Impressment was the policy of capturing a ship and forcing the sailors to work for you. The British were the masters of it and it was super embarrassing for the American Navy.
The US made the British swear to stop in a treaty but it was a major cause of tensions leading up to the War of 1812.

Explanation:
I = Prt
I: interest earned
P: principle (initial invested amount)
r: rate (percentage)
t: time in years (duration)
Most often, when letters are side-by-side this means they are all factors of each other. If something is a factor of another, then multiply them. So, 275 times 8% or 8/100 or 0.08 times 16 years is equal to $352. With this total subtract $275 from $352. The interest earned is equal to $77.
$275 * 0.08 * 16 yrs = $352
$352 - $275 = $77
I = $77
This may seem confusing when saying aloud in order of the equation, "Interest equals $352". The total is $352, the interest earned is equal to $77. Conventions and platitudes are often erroneous.
