Most of the powers of government were given to the legislatures; the new state governors, for the most part, had little real aut

hority. In every state except Massachusetts and New York, the governor was chosen by the legislature, and in most of them only for a one-year term. And only in three states did the governor have a veto power.
How does this compare to the status that governors hold today?

A. Most state governments still give the majority of power to the legislature and limit the power of governors.
B. Modern governors have much more authority than what the excerpt describes, including the veto power over legislation.
C. Today, governors have more power than they once had, but they are still limited to one-year terms in most states.
D. Contemporary governors have less power than early state governors but still play an important role

The second alternative is correct (B).

Governors are elected for four-year terms, such as the president, and have the power to govern states in an executive way. Each state has its constituted rules, but governors usually have the power to veto laws that they see as inconvenient.

In short, today's governors have far more power than the first governors of US history.

what factors led to the development of the atlantic trade system between Europe, Africa, and the America’s ?
RoseWind [281]
Main causes:
Importance of growth in colonies
Shortage of labor
Failure to find alternative sources of labor
The legal position
Racial attitudes
Religious factors
Military factors

Brief explanation:

Increasing numbers of slaves were transported across the Atlantic because of the new form of farming that developed in the European colonies of the New World.

European farmers attempted to use native populations as a source of labour, which proved difficult. However, tha did not stop the development of the New Word.

With new land available, labourers were always tempted to leave their job and start their own farm. Wages needed to be high enough to tempt them to stay, reducing the planters’ profit margins.

The status of slaves as property was long established. The use of the property law meant that the enslaved were not considered humans, but commodities.

Several ideas from the time supported the enslavement of Africans:

Africans were seen as more suited to work on the plantations

African captives would be executed if the slave trade was abolished

African slaves were seen as benefitting from being looked after by the superior Europeans

Some Bible passages were used to justify slavery. In Genesis Noah placed the 'curse of Ham' on the descendents of his son, starting with his grandson Canaan.
