The correct answer is D) to represent the passing on of responsibility by referencing a well known, meaningful practice.

Kennedy's purpose for using the phrase "the torch has been passed was to represent the passing on of responsibility by referencing a well known, meaningful practice.

He referred to the "new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage." These Americans had the responsibility to work for the benefit of the United States despite the difficult circumstances and threats. That is why he expressed the quote "do not ask what this country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

The Puritans founded the
Leona [35]

Answer:

Option: the formation of a government controlled by religious officials.

Explanation:      

Roger Williams banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636 because of his ideas, which according to the Puritans officials was dangerous and threat among the Puritans. Williams did not consider the Puritan Church was pure enough for the people in New England.  He explained that the government should not interfere with people on what religious behaviours they should join. For all these ideas he was banished from the colony and established a new settlement in Rhode Island.

Anne Hutchinson became known for her religious and feminist beliefs that threatened the Puritan ministers’ orthodox view. Hutchinson became a spiritual leader in the colony and preached settlers, which finally give her the reputation because of her objection in Puritan beliefs about the Covenant of Works.

1. Why did the American forces have an advantage?
Tresset [83]

Answer:

On the other hand, the Americans had many intangible advantages.

The British fought a war far from home. Military orders, troops, and supplies sometimes took months to reach their destinations. The British had an extremely difficult objective. They had to persuade the Americans to give up their claims of independence. As long as the war continued, the colonists' claim continued to gain validity. The geographic vastness of the colonies proved a hindrance to the British effort. Despite occupying every major city, the British remained as at a disadvantage.

Americans had a grand cause: fighting for their rights, their independence and their liberty. This cause is much more just than waging a war to deny independence. American military and political leaders were inexperienced, but proved surprisingly competent.

The war was expensive and the British population debated its necessity. In Parliament, there were many American sympathizers. Finally, the alliance with the French gave Americans courage and a tangible threat that tipped the scales in America's favor.

Describe how single member districts discourage minor parties
Nata [24]
The existence of single-member districts discourages the creation of minor parties because the party that receives the most votes secures the office. In other words, the winner gets everything, and other parties have nothing to show for their efforts. If, by way of illustration, the Green Party fielded candidates in all 435 House races and received 20 percent of the vote in each district, it would not win any seats at all. In a system with proportional representation, seats in the legislature are allocated according to the party's share of the popular vote. Thus, minor parties are rewarded for fielding candidates in elections because their efforts result in at least a modicum of representation in the legislative branch.
