It gave people free land - 160 acres - west of the Mississippi,as long as they went and lived on it for at least 5 years and showed clear signs of having improved (ie cleared and cultivated) said land. 

<span>The land available included good farming land near to rivers,so was an attractive proposition for families that were willing to move westwards and set up homesteads on the land given them.</span>

Many constitutional monarchies started out as:
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Many constitutional monarchies started out as, would be: Absolute monarchies.

Explanation:

The big difference between an absolute monarchy and a constitutional monarchy, is the limitations placed on the power exercised by a monarch, or head ruler, of a country. In ancient times, this became the norm, especially in Europe, where the absolute power of kings was unquestioned and unchecked by anyone. However, even if kingdoms all over the world started out as absolute monarchies, with the King or Queen being the only law in the land, this changed through time, until these rulers became bound by another law; that of a constitution. This is the case of England, and other such nations, where government went from being solely in the hands of a ruler, to the ruler´s power being chained by constitutions. Today, many of the monarchies only have Kings and Queens as symbols, but they play no part in government.
