The correct answer is citizens.

The legislature is made up of the Senate and House of Representatives. These two bodies of Congress are voted on by the citizens. Members of the House of Representative are voted on every 2 years while members of the Senate are voted on every 6 years. This gives citizens the power to vote on the people that will be responsible for making federal laws.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

It dashed any hopes the British had of isolating New England from the rest of the colonies.

Explanation:

The Battle of Saratoga was extremely important for the victory of Americans over British forces during the American revolution. That's because it was in this battle that the American army prevented the British from isolating New England from other colonies. If New England were isolated, the colonies would run out of supplies, which would facilitate a surrender of the American army, however, American forces were able to isolate the British army before that happened, forcing them to surrender and advancing towards victory.

How would you explain the sectional divide over the War of 1812? Why did the war find the most support in the southern and weste
Likurg_2 [28]

The War of 1812 started with many economic sanctions and violations f maritime rights by the British against the US. Many were in favor of war because of the fight for the rights of sailors and the protection of US shipping, this was more present in western states and territories. The war found little in favor and much of the Congress was absent.

New England especially was against the war, they saw it as a way of silence opposition to the Republicans and as a party project. Federalists feared also that an alliance with France would bring the US to the arms of Napoleon, some even called “the touch of France the embrace of death”. Another argument was the fear for the nation, a high-cost venture.
