Answer:

The New England colonies consisted of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. The geography of the region had hilly terrain, rocky soil, and jagged coast lines. The weather of this region also consisted of moderate summers and cold winters. This colony was founded by Roger williams and fellow puritans escaping prosecution, leading to social classes being dependent on religious standing. Religion and government were also tied together and they practiced direct democracy along with a covenant community. Their economy was dependent on shipbuilding, fishing, lumbering, and manufacturing, as well as later established cash crop plantations.

Chesapeake colony regions included Virginia and Maryland, and had a temperate climate. This made for good farmland, and resulting in easier cash crop and tobacco cultivation, thus creating a successful economy. Since the economy was centered around plantations, much indentured servant labor was used, as well as the importationf of African slavery. Laws were created to keep slavery profitable and legal. This colony was also a refuge for English catholics, meaning many roman catholics facing discrimination in England were safe here. However, little religious tolerance existed for Christians. Within the Chesapeake colonies however, very little women settled, leading to social classes and demographics consisting of mostly Roman Catholic men, African slaves, indentured servants, and American Indian tribes. Democracy was a large part of the government, and the democratic principles enforced reflected the basic rights of Englishmen.

The Southern colonies geography consisted of both North and South Carolina and Georgia. There were many rivers in this region, and the mild climate led to good crops, also leading to the implementation of plantations. Most settlers in this are were poor farmers or people seeking better economic opportunities. Their religion was mainly Anglican, meaning they were closest to the England monarchy, as their religion was most similar. Economic characteristics subsisted of plantations, slave labor, and cash crops, though there were small trading systems involved. The social classes were based on family status and land ownership and their population was largely made of African slaves. The representative government was dominated by large landowners, and they played the lead roles in representative colonial legislature.

The middle colony region included Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. THis region had low coastlines with many harbors, bays, wide rivers, and rich farmland. The moderate climate allowed for crops and livestock to thrive, meaning that this region became a big city for trading and farming. Middle colonies were founded by William Penn, and were a safe haven for different religions like Quakers and Jews. The social structure was also flexible, with an artisan middle class and many American Indian tribes. Due to the flexible religious tolerance, this are was very diverse, and were the most ethnically diverse of British colonies in America. The Virginia House of Burgess was founded in 1619 and was America’s first representative government.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The 12 tables were a codification of the customary law of the tribes that founded the Roman state, but was selected and amended according to the needs of the ruling class. they had a small number of provisions that regulate the exchange of goods, provides for severe sanctions against debtors, strict formalism of procedures, attachment to religion, etc. The main part of the law is dedicated to court proceedings and sanctions for torts. It contains several provisions on family and inheritance law, on the law of obligations and a few more provisions on property. One table is dedicated to public law and religion.

Explanation:

Roman law arose only when an attempt was made to codify the law of the Twelve Tables, the oldest Roman law passed 451 BC at the request of the plebeians to limit the arbitrariness of patricians. It got its name from the fact that it was written on twelve bronze plates and displayed on the Forum.

The text has not been preserved, but it has been reconstructed, probably not in its entirety, on the basis of quotations in the works of Roman jurists.

How are the Rome and Inca empires compare and contrast?
Akimi4 [234]
The Romans had historians. This meaning the Roman legacy went on in Europe for centuries, even long after the fall of the Roman Empire.  The Incas had no writing that I know of but maybe it just was not deciphered. They were conquered by the Spanish (because they had better weapons such as guns).This meant much of their history was lost when the Spanish conquered the area. Hope this helps and please give brainliest it would help me reach expert ;)
