Answer:

Hope I could help xxxxx ;P

Explanation:

Thomas Hutchinson was the last royal governor of Massachusetts Bay, a prominent loyalist, and a noted historian, both of his colony and his times. A native Bostonian, born September 9, 1711 to a wealthy merchant family, Hutchinson was, like many of his future political opponents, educated at Harvard University. In 1737 he was elected to the Massachusetts assembly, of which he was Speaker from 1746 to 1748. His support for an unpopular measure to redeem the colony's depreciated paper currency led to his defeat for re-election in 1749. He was then appointed to the Governor's Council and served as a delegate to the Albany Congress of 1754, where he joined Benjamin Franklin in drawing up a plan of American union. Hutchinson was made lieutenant governor of the province in 1758 and chief justice in 1760, offices he held simultaneously, much to the chagrin of Boston radicals such as James Otis (who believed he had been promised the latter post).

Answer:

Due to his political views

Explanation:

Thomas Hutchinson (1711-1780) was a colonial American politician, judge and historian. He was born into a prominent Boston family and studied at Harvard. He began his career in local politics in 1737 and was named speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1746. Hutchinson later simultaneously held a series of posts, including chief justice of the Superior Court of Judicature and lieutenant governor of the state. A supporter of parliamentary authority, he became the last civilian royal governor of Massachusetts in 1771. He struggled to establish control during increasingly turbulent times and was replaced by General Thomas Gage in 1774 on the eve of the American Revolution

Hutchinson During The Revolutionary War

Intelligent, skilled in getting to the heart of a case and in weighing competing legal arguments, Hutchinson would have been better off limiting himself to judging and to historical writing (he published two volumes of an uncompleted History of Massachusetts Bay). Unfortunately, he retained not only his position as lieutenant governor, but also a seat on the Governor’s Council and took an active role in the turmoil that bubbled after 1763. His position made him a natural supporter of royal (and parliamentary) authority, although he opposed the Stamp Act. Nonetheless, in 1765, the worst mob in Boston history gutted his home and destroyed its contents. Thereafter, he became less and less able to understand not only the political currents, but his (and the home government’s) inability to control them. As the violence escalated, culminating in the Boston Massacre (1770) and the Boston Tea Party (1773), Hutchinson, appointed governor in 1771, vainly tried to work out an imperial policy that could accommodate London’s insistence on control and the radicals’ increasingly overt resistance to parliamentary oversight.

The French and Indian war was a battle over control of the Ohio Valley.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's True

Explanation:

France wanted to expand their colony to the Ohio River Valley, but the British wouldn't let them because they were using it for their colonies. France's move repeatedly brought conflict to the British colonies, and a series of battles led to the official declaration of war by the British in 1756. But because of the finance of the future Prime Minister, the British won.

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
Andre45 [30]

The correct answer is “The judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that.” – John Adams.

This would be the correct answer because in this quote John Adams highlights the idea that the independence of the judicial power allows for checks and balances between the three powers.  

The term "Separation of powers" refers to a system in which a state organizes and divides responsibilities.  Creating three different branches which are: the judicial power, the legislative power and the executive power.  In this way each branch carries out their responsibilities independently, promoting a checks and balances system that prevents any of the branches from taking over or interrupting in the other branches' functions.
