History

ira [324]3 years ago

Answer:

The Declaration of Independence was issued “by authority of the good people of these colonies.” It was a revolution, you know.

The Pilgrims did not cite any specific authority for the Mayflower Compact. However, they declared themselves to be loyal subjects of the king of Great Britain. The Compact was based on their experience in organizing dissenting churches in England and, I suppose, in the Netherlands, where they had sought shelter from persecution. In some ways it was in keeping with the English common law, which dealt with problems and controversies as they arose, rather than waiting for the government to settle them. But in some ways it was a revolutionary, democratic statement, asserting the colonists’ right to make their own laws.

The correct answer is C) a nation seeking support and protection from other nations."

The option that would have benefited most from the implementation of Wilson’s Fourteen Points is "a nation seeking support and protection from other nations."

At the end of World War 1, US President Woodrow Wilson had a real interest in the total pacification of western Europe after so much conflict and destruction. The economic interests of the United States were also at risk. So on January 8, 1918, he addressed Congress to develop 14 points that he considered would allow for long-lasting peace in Europe. The speech is known as the "14 Points Speech." Among the most important points were the free navigation of the seas, the establishment of fair trade conditions between the countries, and the evacuation of Montenegro, Serbia, and Romania.
