8 0

The Enlightenment Philosophers, but especially John Locke, influenced Thomas Jefferson as he drafted the Declaration of Independence.

Locke was a major proponent of the belief that humans have natural rights and that we enter into a social contract in return for giving up some liberty to the government in exchange for protection of the natural rights.

Jefferson used this belief when he wrote about "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" cribbing Locke's "life, liberty, and the pursuit of property"

As commander of the continental army, George Washington _______________. a) had no shortage of Americans willing to volunteer to
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Understanding the need for a single army to be able to fight on equal terms against British forces, the Second Continental Congress created the Continental Army on June 14, 1775, uniting all colonial forces under a single command. Almost immediately after its creation, delegate John Adams nominated George Washington as commander of the Continental Army. Washington was their most experienced senior officer, and <u>was widely admired, respected and trusted by almost all Patriots</u>. Coming from Virginia, it was believed that a southerner leading northern soldiers would be a uniting factor as well. Washington humbly accepted the post on June 15, and two weeks later was already engaged in his first major combat against the British in Boston. Washington would remain the commander in chief of the Continental Army through the American Revolutionary War, which ended in September 3, 1783.

Explain how the chesapeake and north carolina colonies grew prosperous exporting tobacco.
Hatshy [7]

In divergence to the northern and middle colonies, the southern and Chesapeake colonies, as well as Maryland, were mainly rural settlements. Maryland quickly prospered because, like its neighbor, Virginia, its economy was based on tobacco. The Chesapeake and North Carolina colonies were the example for large plantations and plantation-based economies. By growing a soon-to-be cash crop, these colonies required a lot of attention and hands-on labor that was supplied by enslaved Africans. These colonies helped expand Colonial America's export economy and other nations' dependence on similar crops and/or products grown here.
