Answer:
it is B.
Explanation:
The Mayflower Compact of 1620:
was signed by men from one of the first groups of English colonists who came to America
set up a government and the first written laws for the new settlers arriving at Plymouth Colony (now the state of Massachusetts)
created laws for the "general good" (common good) of the settlement
included the idea of "will of the majority," where decisions are made based on what the majority of people agree to do
included the idea of the social contract where the settlers consented to follow the Compact's rules for the sake of the survival of the new colony
influenced Americans to think that British policies and laws harmed instead of supported the common good
influenced Americans to think that King George III, in their own time, was breaking the social contract where he was bound to protect their rights and provide security
was the foundation of the U.S. Constitution according to John Adams and other Founding Fathers
Big Idea: The Mayflower Compact is an example of self-government. The people would determine laws and government for themselves rather than an outside government doing it for them.
Answer: False
Explanation: The Connecticut Compromise also resulted in the creation of a second legislative chamber, the Senate, with equal representation of the American states and closer to the people, as Senators would be elected by state legislatures. Under the US Constitution, the approval of both houses of Congress is required to comply with federal legislation.
Answer:
export more than it imports
Explanation:
The colonial powers during the seventeenth century were led by the economic principles of the mercantilism. This economic principle was basically suggesting that in order for a country to gain as much wealth as possible, it needs to produce a lot, export more than it imports, and use protectionism as a defense mechanism. In order to accomplish this, the colonial powers engaged into mass production of goods that were in high demand and were sold for good price, resulting in creation of enormous plantations of cash crops. Some of the cash crops that contributed to accumulation of wealth through trade were the sugar cane, cotton, indigo, tobacco etc. Something else that this economic principle suggested was the creation or opening up of new markets, and the result of that was conquering new territories, where both the resources were used, and it was a new market for the products, though this came slightly later in the history.
