Answer:

Georgia was founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe to be a safe place for imprisoned English debtors to relocate and start new lives.

Oglethorpe, who was originally a military officer, became a member of parliament in 1722. He became known for his philanthropic interests, which drove him to found in Georgia an asylum for debtors and persecuted Protestants. The organization that Oglethorpe gave the colony was very unique and was characterized by strong military discipline, among other things.

Why was the French defeat a blow to Native Americans in the Ohio River Valley?
MariettaO [177]

Also known as the Seven Years’ War, this New World conflict marked another chapter in the long imperial struggle between Britain and France. When France’s expansion into the Ohio River valley brought repeated conflict with the claims of the British colonies, a series of battles led to the official British declaration of war in 1756. Boosted by the financing of future Prime Minister William Pitt, the British turned the tide with victories at Louisbourg, Fort Frontenac and the French-Canadian stronghold of Quebec. At the 1763 peace conference, the British received the territories of Canada from France and Florida from Spain, opening the Mississippi Valley to westward expansion.

Which constitutional action starts the process by which a president is removed from office?
saw5 [17]

it D. The word "impeachment" derives from Old French empeechier from Latin impedicare expressing the idea of becoming caught or entrapped, and has analogues in the modern French verb empêcher (to prevent) and the modern English impede. Medieval popular etymology also associated it (wrongly) with derivations from the Latin impetere (to attack). (In its more frequent and more technical usage, impeachment of a witness means challenging the honesty or credibility of that person.)

Impeachment was first used in the British political system.<span>[citation needed]</span> Specifically, the process was first used by the English "Good Parliament" against Baron Latimer in the second half of the 14th century. Following the British example, the constitutions of Virginia (1776), Massachusetts (1780) and other states thereafter adopted the impeachment mechanism, but they restricted the punishment to removal of the official from office. As well, in private organizations, a motion to impeach can be used to prefer charges.<span />
