Answer:

1.1. What did puritans want to do with the Church of England (giving them this name)?

A. The Puritans wanted the Church of England to become pure by getting rid of Catholic practices.

2. Why did the Puritans/Pilgrims leave England?

A. The Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to practice religious freedom.

3. Why is the Mayflower Compact considered one of the first steps toward democracy in the United States?

A. The Mayflower Compact was important because it was the first document to establish self-government in the New World. It remained active until 1691 when Plymouth Colony became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

4.  How did the Wampanoag Tribe help the colonists and how did the colonists repay them?​

A. The Wampanoag helped the colonists survive by teaching agrarian skills and by ensuring a peaceful existence remained between the indigenous people and the colonial settlers. The colonists treated the Natives as inferior, believed they stood in the way of their God-given right to the land in America and tried to subject the Natives to their laws as they established their colonies.

5. How was the Pilgrim society different from other societies (such as Jamestown)? (Find at least 2 differences)

A. The settlers at Jamestown were members of the Anglican faith, the official Church of England. The Pilgrims were dissenters from the Church of England and established the Puritan or Congregational Church.

6. How did New Englanders make money? Include as many examples as you can.

A. Their economy was based on trading, lumbering, fishing, whaling, shipping, fur trading (forest animals), and shipbuilding.

7. Describe education in New England.

A. Education was very important in the New England colonies. The first public schools in the colonies were started there. In 1647, Massachusetts passed a law requiring all towns with 50 or more families to hire a teacher to instruct their children how to read or write.

8. What are the Pilgrims trying to create in the New World?

A. They were trying to create a self-governing government. That's how the three legislation systems were put in to place.

9. Did they want a land of equality? What was their goal?

A. The Pilgrims wanted a self-governing government because they didn't want one person to rule over everything, since that person could be a very bad ruler. By bad ruler, I mean, not thinking of the people that person is ruling, or just not paying attention to the situations.

10. Explain what the General Court of Massachusetts is and why it's important.

A. The name "General Court" is a hold-over from the earliest days of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, when the colonial assembly, in addition to making laws, sat as a judicial court of appeals.

11. What are the four requirements to vote in Massachusetts (three of these are true for every other colony)

A.  1. Reserved for Property Owners

     2. Restricts Rights of Free Blacks and Slaves

     3. Only Taxpayers and Property Owners to Vote

     4.  Bars Jews from Voting

12. In your answer above, mark which requirement was ONLY true for Massachusetts.

A. Number 1 and 3 are true because

Reserved for Property Owners was set in 1676

Only Taxpayers and Property Owners to Vote was set in 1732

natta225 [31]

Answer:

This can include the certainty one feels in her own ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.

Overconfidence is thinking so highly of oneself beyond the capacity of the person. It is trusting in one's ability beyond what can be offer or given. Overconfidence makes one neglect corrections or take heed to instructions that is outside of what is known even though it is correct.
