Why did King George Il allow James Oglethorpe to establish the colony of Georgia?

History

6 0

Answer:

In 1729 James Oglethorpe's life was to change. The previous year, one of his friends, Robert Castell, was jailed in London's Fleet Prison because of his debts. At the time, inmates were forced to pay prison staff fees for decent room and board. Unable to pay, Castell was thrown into a cell with a prisoner who had smallpox. Castell's death from the disease led Oglethorpe to launch a national campaign to reform England's prisons. Named chairman of a parliamentary committee to investigate the jails, Oglethorpe saw firsthand the horrible conditions, abuses, and extortion prisoners faced. He also was alarmed that so many British citizens faced jail for no other reason than indebtedness.

As a result of the investigation a number of steps were taken to reform London's prisons. Oglethorpe's efforts to expose and correct prison abuses gained him national attention, and he became widely regarded as one of Britain's most active humanitarians. Prison reform did not, however, solve the plight of the large number of poor people in England. Oglethorpe and several colleagues from the jails committee, notably John Lord Viscount Percival (later the first earl of Egmont), began exploring the possibility of creating a new colony in America. They believed that if given a chance, England's "worthy poor" could be transformed into farmers, merchants, and artisans. But strict rules would be needed to prevent the class divisions that plagued English society. Thus, all the settlers would work their own land, with slavery and large landholdings specifically prohibited.

How was ratification of the new constitution made easier?
AURORKA [14]

The correct answer is D.by highlighting the shortcomings of the Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation had several weaknesses that made it an ineffective form of government. One of these weaknesses is a weak central government. The central (aka federal) government could not collect taxes, force states to follow federals laws, and struggled to develop an army.

Highlighting these types of weaknesses at the Constitutional Convention solidified the idea that a completely new constitution needed to be developed for America.

Take up the White Man's burden–
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is to benefit colonial peoples

Explanation:

To benefit colonial is the right answer because Kipling was someone who proclaimed the idea that European colonial powers are taking on their back the obligation to illuminate Native people of the colonies. They are actually sacrificing according to Kipling, so they could help them evolve.

That is why other options are false.

Europeans have no benefit. They are "helping."
