Answer: B-   Many of the colonies elected representative assemblies.

The colonies practiced limited forms of self-government since the early 1600s. Each of the thirteen colonies had a written agreement between the colony and the king of England, or Parliament. This agreement of royal colonies provided for direct rule by the king. A colonial legislative was elected by property holding males. But governors were appointed by the king and had almost complete authority.

Each colony had its own <em>government</em> but the British king controlled these governments. The colonist could not govern themselves and make their own laws. They had <em>elected represented assemblies,  in which </em>members were elected annually, by the propertied citizens of the towns or counties.

The first <em>Pilgrims, </em>who landed in Plymouth, had no official agreements to govern them, so they drafted the Mayflower Compact, which in essence declare that they would rule themselves. Although they became eventually a royal colony, the pilgrims set a powerful precedent of making their own rules.

Many of the colonies elected representative assemblies.

The colonies had British governors in place but many also had assemblies to represent the interests of the people. During the 1600's, the colonies were mostly left alone to monitor themselves and this remained as long as the economic relationship was good.

Virginia created the House of Burgesses which was the first representative government in the colonies. Landowners were the government officials and people responsible for running the colonial governments. New England colonies were represented by a council of elders and church leaders. They also agreed to a representative colonial government in which landowning men were the only people involved in the government.

I haven’t researched this much, but i do know that there were no beds for the slaves, they were chained to the ground shoulder to shoulder, typically unclothed. a lot would vomit from seasickness, terror, or lack of nutrition, and a good portion of them died before getting to their destination.

nignag [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

               It was an average day here in Massachusetts, warm and crisp, but something was wrong. There had been tell of witches roaming our country, and any suspicious actions were supposed to be reported immediately. Suddenly, a mounty came riding into town with two screaming girls. He was taking them to the town council, so I decided to follow him.

               As I peeked into the window of the town hall, I heard the mounty speak about witchcraft and how he had found the young girls prancing about the wood chanting eerie songs. As I looked closer, I realized that one of the girls was my friend Mary. She would never do witchery, not ever! I heard the councilmen talk of a stake and fire. The next day, Mary was a pile of ashes on the ground.
