Answer:
A. Articles of confederation is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The articles of confederation(1777) established the government for the union of thirteen colonies. As the colonies needed some form of government and written rules to govern them, the articles allowed the creation of Federal congress and was given the power to create laws, raise army and print money. The articles were prepared by a committee of thirteen men. John Dickinson authored the first draft and was the committee chairmen. The articles were first ratified by Virginia and Maryland was the last one to do so.
C. The French and American Revolutions were caused by a growing middle class. The middle classes in both societies were well educated and growing in wealth due to global trade and commerce. However, due to the monarchical rules, land owners typically received more benefits. The middle class was left with little to no voice in the government yet money to be taxed.
Haiti was a slave-led revolt leading to independence from France. Brazil was a peaceful negotiation giving Brazil independence from Portugal. Mexico was a poor/lower class movement to gain independence from Mexico. Leadership for the Mexican revolution were educated in American government and were middle class however.
The Treaty of Tordesillas awarded Portugal African territories and present-day Brazil, whereas Spain was awarded the rest of the Americas, which greatly improved Spain's power and trade capabilities. It accurately describes the impact of the Treaty of Tordesillas on trade.
