I think you worded your question incorrectly; the word to the definition an absence of government is: Anarchy
nope thats why the convo was made in the 1st place
Common sense was what shifted the grievances.
Answer: Losing secret papers to the enemy could have serious consequences.
Explanation:
The central idea here is that when secret papers are lost to the enemy, they could have serious consequences. This is why the both the British and the Americans tried to capture riders conveying messages for the other side so that they could get the messages.
If these messages were found, they could help in the war effort by implicating spies such as George Higday who would be put to death should evidence be found of their treachery. This would be good for the side that was being spied on as less information would be leaked and bad for the other side as they will have less information to act on.
Let's look at this question differently: who had the most power in the European feudal system? the ones who owed livestock? The ones who owned gold?
No, the ones with the power were the land owner, and this is the correct answer: (2) land.
