The correct answer is Declaring the colonies to be in rebellion.  

<em>What king George III received an olive branch petition from Congress he declared the colonies to be in rebellion. </em>

<em>King George III –King of England- did not a</em>ccept the petition, written by John Dickinson. It appealed directly to George III and was an effort to reconcile between Great Britain and the colonies. But for the King, it was like an insult to the Crown and he considered this an act of rebellion.

On September 1775, Richard Penn and Arthur Lee were the members of the Continental Congress that presented the Olive Branch Petition to the Earl of Dartmouth.

The Olive Branch Petition was signed on July 8, 1775, by the Second Continental Congress (or the Philadelphia Congress) composed of 13  British colonies in North America.   The Petition declared the colonies' loyalty to Great Britain and implored King George III to prevent more conflict.


However, King George II refused to read the petition, subsequently rejecting it and declaring the colonies to be in rebellion. He further closed the American ports and warned other nations not to engage in trade with the colonies.

What identified the characteristics of the plains Indian's cultures.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Every tribe was different, although certain elements were common to most of the Plains tribes. The true Plains peoples were entirely nomadic, following migrating herds of buffalo, antelope and deer that provided the major portion of the diet. They therefore needed mobile dwellings: the tipi-style lodges that had different names in each of the many Plains languages.

Each tribe was based on clans and small hunting bands; only very rarely would an entire tribe come together in one place - and this would only be for a very short time due to lack of sufficient food and grazing. Consequently most tribes had no head chief.

All plains people depended on horses for transport, hunting and warfare. Some war parties set out on foot, in the expectation of stealing enemy horses that could be ridden and herded back to camp.

Bows were the primary weapon for hunting and in war.

The Plains people generally lacked pottery since it was far too heavy and fragile for a nomadic lifestyle; instead containers of rawhide (parfleches) were made, which were very light and durable.

Hunting bands would not remain in any one place for more than a few weeks, except in winter when a sheltered valley would be used for many month

What is the main way a representative democracy differs from a direct democracy?
yan [13]

Citizens elect leaders who vote on the issues in a representative democracy, and citizens vote on the issues in a direct democracy.

Representative democracy has the word "representative", because people are chosen to "represent" the people, and to do what their voters want them to do.

Whereas, direct democracy is called "direct", because the citizens have direct opinion on issues
