6 0

From 1774 to 1789, the Continental Congress served as the government of the 13 American colonies and later the United States. The First Continental Congress, which was comprised of delegates from the colonies, met in 1774 in reaction to the Coercive Acts, a series of measures imposed by the British government on the colonies in response to their resistance to new taxes. In 1775, the Second Continental Congress convened after the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) had already begun. In 1776, it took the momentous step of declaring America’s independence from Britain. Five years later, the Congress ratified the first national constitution, the Articles of Confederation, under which the country would be governed until 1789, when it was replaced by the current U.S. Constitution.

dangina [55]

The answer that best completes the statement is this: MORE PRODUCTIVE. Capitalist economic systems are said to be more productive compared to the socialist economic systems. Capitalism and Socialism are two of the formal economies. The reason why the capitalist economic systems are said to be more productive is that they are made up of both the buyers and the sellers and the main intention is business and to make profit. In contrast to socialist economic systems, they are only operated by public cooperatives.
