Answer:

Why did it take so long for monarchs to be subject to the rule of law just like everyone else?

European Absolute Monarchs of the Modern Era had accumulated lots of power, starting from the Middle Ages. They had subjugated the former medieval feudal lords, and they also had the support of the Church (the Catholic Church in the case of nations like France and Spain, and Protestant Churches in the case of England).

This alliance with the Church not only gave them more political power and wealth, but also legitimacy in front of the people. Many of these monarchs, like Louis XIV, were seen almost divine.

Why was England first to have a constitutional monarchy rather than an absolute monarchy?

England had a tradition of limiting the power of the monarch that traces back to the Carta Magna of 1215.

From that moment on, the parliament always kept some form of check on the monarch.

Besides, England, along with the Netherlands, was the first European country to liberalize the economy. This economic freedom brought wealth to many merchants, tradesmen and so on, what would be known as the  

bourgeoisie.

These people began to demand political representation in the parliament, which contributed to the power decline of the English monarchs.

How did the USs foreign policies from 1870-1910 become more imperialistic?
erica [24]
By the 1890's Americans were sick and tired of their 1870 and prior image of being just backwoods farmers staying at home from the world. Americans in the 1890's were conscious of the great power of American industry, wealth, inventions, natural resources and wanted to take their place among the great powers of the world. They were aware of all the great progress America had made in every field. 

<span>A new political movement the progressives wanted even more progress and aimed at the future to make America 'great'. This was the motivation for the new foreign policy. Examples: kicking Spain out and taking Cuba,(1898), buying Panama and building the American Panama Canal there (1904). President Theodore Roosevelt building the 1st mighty US Navy (1901-1909).</span>

zhuklara [117]

<em>Many loyalists fled to Canada after the American Revolution.</em>

Answer: <em>C) They fled to Canada to avoid punishment.</em>

Explanation:

The loyalists fled to Canada after the American Revolution. As the American Revolution gave freedom to the enslaved Africans and Indians Around 80,000 of them fled to Canada and Britain. Because they were wealthy, educated and older.

They often suffered bad treatment from the patriots and therefore, had to flee from their own homes. Even after the war there were some people who remained loyal to the British crown. And so the American colonists would often treat them brutally.
