The event that sparked the beginning of the conflict between Hamilton and Jefferson is that Hamilton wanted a strong federal government. He believed in a centralized federal government with strong power.
The correct answer is A. Spain benefited from the Treaty of Tordesillas winning exploration and trading rights over half of the non-European world.
The treaty established a dividing line 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands. To the west of that line, Spain would have exclusivity of exploration and establishment of colonies, the same with respect to Portugal to the east of that dividing line.
As a result, Portugal guaranteed its rights over Brazil and the exploration of Africa; while Spain secured its supremacy in the exploration and colonization of the American continent, recently discovered (with the exception of Brazil).
They issued the Proclamation of 1763, which was meant to control the colonists. What were the main motivations and events that led to a break with the mother country? There were so many acts that taxed the colonists, such as, the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, and the Quartering Act.
