Answer:

The Middle Colonies were more diverse than colonies in New England and the South. Most of the early settlers depended on the fur trade and on farming for economic survival. The most populous of the Middle colonies was Pennsylvania, other colonies were settled rather haphazardly over the course of the 17th century. Settlers usually organized themselves in small farms spread throughout the colony with a few cities added to the mix.

The Middle Colonies were not as cohesive as the New England colonies because colonists in this region were not united by single religion or code of beliefs.
Area dominated by larger farms than N.E., smaller than the S.; still there is an emphasis on subsistence rather than cash crops. Settlement patterns generally revolve around single family farms (around 50 -150 acres). Again you see the predominance of servant (as opposed to slave labor) in the 17th century. [A notable exception is in New York where you see a large number of African Americans in the colony, especially in New York city where blacks are employed in commercial settings and as dockworkers.]
The Middle Colonies were settled by different nationalities so there is greater emphasis on religious toleration and cultural diversity. This is especially true in the colony of New York.

I hope it helps.

Irina18 [472]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Supreme Court Justice Holmes once included this statement in a majority opinion: "During wartime, utterances tolerable in peacetime can be punished." This statement informed the Supreme Court's later decisions on freedom of speech in that in times of war, citizens are not allowed to express comments or critics that could compromise the national security of the country. So in this case, freedom of speech could be suppressed during the time of war.

In the past, there had been incidents that could have compromised the strategy of the war due to some espionage activities. That is why the federal government has to be cautious with the information that is shared during war times.

Luda [366]

The concept that ethnicities have the right to govern themselves is known as the right of people to self-determination. This rule states that groups of people have right to choose their sovereignty, it means to decide that they want to form an independent state. The most important periods when this rule was applied were after the World War I, World War II and in the 1990s when many independent states emerged from former empires (the Great Britain or the Soviet Union) in Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia.
Nowadays this rule is on the one hand accepted but on the other still controversial when it comes to rights of ethnicities which strive for independence (ex. Scotland from the UK, Catalonia from Spain or Palestina from Israel).
