Answer 1

Answer:

To make profit

Explanation:

A vast majority of the English colonies were designed to make a profit. Whether it was Pennsylvania, like in this picture, Virginia, or the Carolina colony (created by the Lord's Proprietors) the idea of colonies was a way for the mother country to make money.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is letter A, to make a profit.

Explanation:

Proprietor colonies were territories granted to a proprietor by the English King. These settlements were established by King Charles II as a reward to his loyal supporters (proprietors). The primary reason for this was to allow the proprietors to make profit and to make the colonies successful. Thus, this explains the answer, letter A.

So, this means the the proprietor had the land's title and not the king, since this was granted to him. This means he had the opportunity to control his territory, even when it comes to tax collection. He also has the power to create his own laws and appoint officials.
