It was called the Jamestown colony
The correct answer is D) part of a "special relationship."
Though no longer a series of colonies, the United States retains close ties to Britain as part of a "special relationship."
The history of the United States and Great Britain have pages of wars, agreements, more wars, differences, good moments, and understanding.
Since the first English explorers arrived at North America and founded the colony of Jamestown, Virginia in 1607, there have been all kinds of events and incidents between the two nations. Heavy taxations imposed by the English Crown, rebellion acts such as the Boston Tea Party, wars such as the Revolutionary Wars, strategic alliances in World War 1 and II, but at the end, there is a tight bond that will always unite these two nations in a special kind of relationship that is reflected, for instance, in their trade relations.
The other options of the question were A) a Commonwealth. B) a dependency. C) a dominion.
Answer:
George Washington was the first president of the United States of America
Anti-Federalists argued that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government, while taking too much power away from state and local governments. Many felt that the federal government would be too far removed to represent the average citizen. Anti-Federalists feared the nation was too large for the national government to respond to the concerns of people on a state and local basis. The Anti-Federalists were also worried that the original text of the Constitution did not contain a bill of rights. They wanted guaranteed protection for certain basic liberties, such as freedom of speech and trial by jury. A Bill of Rights was added in 1791. In part to gain the support of the Anti-Federalists, the Federalists promised to add a bill of rights if the Anti-Federalists would vote for the Constitution
Federalists believed that the nation might not survive without the passage of the Constitution, and that a stronger national government was necessary after the failed Articles of Confederation. The Federalists met Anti-Federalist arguments that the new government created by the Constitution was too powerful by explaining that the document had many built-in safeguards, such as:
- Limited Government: Federalists argued that the national government only had the powers specifically granted to it under the Constitution, and was prohibited from doing some things at all.
- Separation of Powers: Federalists argued that, by separating the basic powers of government into three equal branches and not giving too much power to any one person or group, the Constitution provided balance and prevented the potential for tyranny.
- Checks and Balances: Federalists argued that the Constitution provided a system of checks and balances, where each of the three branches is able to check or limit the other branches.
