1. Why did sugar thrive in the West Indies but not in the mainland English colonies?

History
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago
7 0

The environment was better in the West Indies than in the English mainland colonies.

Sugar cane requires a hot tropical climate to grow and also needs a high number of workers who can tolerate the conditions.

The English mainland colonies ranged from current day Maine to Georgia, north to south, and the Atlantic coast to the Appalachian Mountains (east to west). In none of these areas was the weather warm enough for a long enough period of time to grow the sugar cane crop. The West Indies are in the Caribbean and their location provided the warm, tropical environment. Indigenous peoples were first used to work the crop but they were too familiar with the land and not all with the crop. African slaves were brought to the Caribbean to farm the sugar cane because they could tolerate the weather and were familiar with the crop.

Which of the following helped support passage of the new Constitution?
Anna007 [38]

The correct answer is:

1. The Federalist essays

4. The promise to create a Bill of Rights.

Explanation:

The Federalist essays or papers were written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay in the late 1780s. Those essays were sent under the pseudonym "Publius" to newspapers to influence the voters in favor of ratification of the Constitution of the United States arguing that it would help to give power to the federal government so it could act on behalf of the nation's interest and that it would preserve the Union, the essays also discussed general problems of politics, and were published all together as a book in 1788. The Federalist papers influenced doubtful states to ratify the Constitution.

<em>Anti federalists thought the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government</em>, and that it needed a Bill of Rights to make sure the federal government wouldn't abuse its power, so during the ratification process Massachusetts, Virginia and New York pressured for the creation of the Bill of Rights, and James Madison (federalist) agreed to write the Bill of Rights to ensure ratification of the United States Constitution.

Which is not an example of ideas from the Scientific Revolution being applied to the social world during the Enlightenment? A. L
solong [7]

<em>Letter B </em>is correct. Oliver Cromwell was indeed a Calvinist protector of the Puritans in England, but he did not command any closure of theaters or Christmas banishment.


<em>Letter A and C: </em>Although John Locke is considered to be the 'father' of the Enlightenment. Empiricist and representative of the Liberal Individualism, he argued that sovereignty should not belong to the State, but to the people.

Although he was the first to propose the government powers separation in England, Charles Montesquieu (one of the most important representatives of the Enlightenment movement in France, along with Voltarie and Rousseau) also proposed that the power should be divided among Executive, Legislative and Judiciary.


<em>Letter D</em>: Benjamin Franklin, inventor, writer, philosopher, diplomat and one of the signatures under the U.S. Declaration of independence, was also fond of the Enlightenment ideals. Known as the greatest diplomat in the history of America, he was as popular as Voltaire in XVIII Century Enlightened France, what made him able to convince the French Monarchy to aid their cause against the Great Britain domain, towards the independence consolidation. Among his many deeds after inaugurating democracy in U.S., he engaged in several community-oriented projects, including the creation of libraries and universities for the population.
