1. It was not possible for the Continental forces of the 13 colonies to have won the American Revolution against Britain without the military training and experience, funds, supplies, and troops provided by France, Spain, and Holland.
- Though the British forces were divided between facing the Americans and losing their sugar plantations in the West Indies, yet the troops from the 13 colonists would not have been enough to prosecute the war of Independence without foreign aid.
- The foreign supports from these three main European countries gingered the General Washington's armed forces. The European countries greatly gave moral boost to the fighting men.
2. The Great Compromise during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 enabled the representatives of the states to agree on a common formula for providing representation of the states at the federal government level.
- The Great Compromise, which is also known as the Connecticut Compromise, allowed each state to produce 2 senate representatives (equal representation) while agreeing that representation in the House of Representatives should be based on population.
- This compromise was reached when states with smaller population proposed equal representation of states at both houses. Then, following intense negotiations, an acceptable compromise was reached on how states should be represented in Congress.
3. The main arguments of the Federalists at the Constitutional Convention was that a strong central government was necessary to unite the states as a nation. They believed that the excesses of a strong central government will be counterbalanced by the doctrine of separation of powers, which created three arms of government.
- The Federalists also reasoned that the checks and balances in the Constitution will protect the rights of citizens. This line of reasoning was not readily accepted by the Anti-Federalists.
- The Anti-Federalists argued that a strong central government will not protect the rights of citizens. Therefore, they demanded that the Constitution should be balanced with the Bill of Rights.
Thus, both Federalists and Anti-Federalists were concerned with ensuring a workable government at the center.

Answer:
These are some key factors for the rise of Spain to a status of global superpower in the 16th and 17th century:
- The expelling of the last remnants of Arabic domination and the final reunification of the whole territories of Spanish Christian kingdoms under the rule of a strong crown, the crown of Castille and Aragon, occurred in 1492. A modern Spanish kingdom was born then. King Fernando de Aragón and queen Isabela de Castilla financed the expedition of Columbus the same year and his next voyages.
- The coming of Columbus to the American continent and the following conquest expeditions. Gold, silver in great amounts are found and taken by the expeditions of Hernán Cortés to the Aztec Empire and of Francisco Pizarro to the Peru of the Incas, and by others. Spain gained access to enormous, unimaginable wealth not suspected before. This allows the crown to spend at home, to fight wars throughout Europe and keep a powerful army and a large navy; Spain was the most powerful European nation of the 16th century.
- Spain became an overstretched empire. It lost many wars, having to pay reparations and indemnizations, as well as debts with private bankers, all of which turned to be the final destination of American riches.
- "Drunk" with the easy flow of wealth from the colonies, the Spanish economy gradually lost dynamism, lacking innovation. A faltering economy in the 17th century, overstretching and lost wars sealed the progressive decline of the Spanish power.
