Indentured servants- Indentured servants made up a significant amount of the labor force when England first colonized the North American continent during the early 1600's. These servants would work 4-7 years for a farm owner who paid for their trip to North America. After the term of service was up, the servant would receive a piece of land to start their own farm on.
Nathaniel Bacon- Bacon was a farmer in Virginia who was upset with the Royal Governor, William Berkley, because Berkley refused to protect colonists during their altercations with Native Americans. Bacon felt that poorer colonists were not cared about by Berkley. This is why he organized a group and rebelled against the governor and his rules.
Mercantilism- This is an economic system in which one country uses another country/territory for natural resources. This was the economic system established by England in the North American continent. The British colonies were used for their natural resources, as a means to sell manufactured goods made in Britian, and as a reliable trade partner. All of this was meant to benefit Britain.

The Virginia and New Jersey Plans. In the Constitutional Convention, the Virginia Plan favored large states while the New Jersey Plan favored small states
Autocratic government. That is where one person reigns supreme. King John had no restrictions on his power. He was forced to sign the magna carta. That limited his power. That gave the nobles power. Their was a group of nobles that I think later formed the basis of parliament although wasnt exactly parliament.
