<span>If King George had accepted the Olive Branch Petition colonists may not have pressed for Independence at that time.

Answer:
gathering food instead of cultivating the land for crops
Explanation:
Among the following options that would be least likely to damage an ecosystem is "gathering food instead of cultivating the land for crops."
The gathering of food instead of cultivating the land for crops will not or hardly affect the ecosystem because there is the uprooting of forests or bushes and soils, which are the natural habitats of plants and animals in the ecosystem.
However, founding a new city and building houses there; building a dam to generate electricity; and raising a type of livestock in a region where it is not native will all involve the excavation of soils and clearing of bushes which are natural habitats of plants and animals, thereby affecting the ecosystem.
A. a supreme court.
The supreme court is the highest court there is. The supreme court is made up of 9 judges which decide on the verdict together. If the majority decides on a verdict, then that verdict will be taken.
When you get tried in a court, you can choose to take the case to a higher court after the trial if there's evidence that was ignored, if new evidence comes to light, or in other rare circumstances. The highest you can go is the supreme court, and once you're tried there and the court comes to a decision, you're done and can't be tried again for whatever crime you were accused.
