b.The monarch could expand his or her territory into new lands without the cost or risk required to set up a colony.

Charters were business ventures and the cost and maintenance of the settlement is up to the business.

Monarchs investing in a charter allowed them to expand their empire and bring wealth into the country with little investment. The monarch acted as an investor while the company set up a means of making money. If the settlement failed was successful, the monarchy would profit but if it failed the money lost was felt most by the company.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Chief Seattle considered strange that the American government would want to buy the land on which the tribe is living because he questioned the President of the United States how he wanted to put a price on elements that had no material or monetary value such as the freshness of the air, or the beauty of the sky. How he questioned US President Franklin Pierce, there was a price for the sparkle of the water.

Chief Seattle's view of this land was that mother Earth was something sacred for the Native American Indians. Nature was holy for his tribe. All the elements of nature were sacred and celebrated by the Native Indians. That is why they performed dances to the elements and chants, to thank mother nature for everything it provided.
