The best answer here is A, a huge conflict between the Mexican government and American settlers was slavery. Leading up to the Mexican American War
(1846-1848), the Mexican government started creating and enforcing more laws surrounding American settlers, as they were becoming very numerous. Even after the war, slavery was still an issue for settlers in Texas (which became independent after the war) and this contributed to the civil war. Hope this helps!
A federal government, or a federation, is a government in which a central power oversees the activities of smaller powers (usually states) within the system, and is responsible for the macro elements of the state such as foreign affairs.
I would make a law by making the survivors vote for one and only one person to lead. The person who gets voted to be the leader will not make people do any certain things. He will only make some rules up. Like no one is to kill each other. They will get to say statement like "No one shall kill humans, we are a pack and we will stick together. There responsibilities is to keep the pack together, and in a team. There Will be houses to keep everyone in shelter. There will be one per Family.
