Was colonial america a democratic society?​

Social Studies

Answer:

Depends!

Explanation:

It depends on what part of Colonial America you were talking about. Places like New York and the Southern colonies were typically more aristocratic, where the colony was run by a small elite number of wealthy landowners. Pennsylvania was run by the Quaker oligarchs, who held a firm control over the colonial government.

The two most "democratic" societies in Colonial America were the New England colonies and in the backcountry. Local government in New England was practiced through a "Town Meeting", where residents would get together to discuss and vote on various issues. In the backcountry, where colonial authority tended to be weak, society tended to be more egalitarian, and settlers had to work together in order to stay alive and prosper.

Which point best highlights why the US government has limited power?
Alisiya [41]
  US government has a limited power because it cannot do certain things, and specifically it is not allowed to breach certain individual freedoms: so it can be said that the motivation for a limited government is to protect individual freedoms.

See for example the text of the first amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" - this limits the power of the government so that people have a freedom to practice their religion.

What do you mean by U-shaped valley?short answer.​
mote1985 [20]

Definition:

U-shaped valleys form through glacial erosion. Glaciation develops in established v-shaped river valleys where the ice erodes the surrounding rocks to create a “U” shaped valley with a flat bottom and steep sides. Glacier movement is driven by gravity. When the glacier melts, the landscape is transformed and the U-shaped valleys are clearly visible.
