The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no potions attached, we can say the following.

British forces under general Clinton moved from New York to take the city and occupy it and most of the state. The area of battle is South Carolina and the city was Charleston.

Here, we are talking about the worst defeat of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War of Independence against the British troops. The historic name is the Siege of Charleston, South Carolina. The battle lasted two months. It started on March 29 and ended on May 12, 1780.

Henry Clinton had evacuated the city of Newport, Rhode Island in 1779, while Wilhelm von Knyphausen stayed in New York. In December 1779, Clinton navigated all the way down the Savanna River and landed in Simmons Island, ready to attack Charleston.

Explain why British mercantilism was a factor that led to the writing of the US constitution.
belka [17]

Answer:

British Mercantilism made that the wealth of the British increased while colonies wealth decreased. This discontent lead to the American Revolution and ultimately to write their own constitution in which they set the rules for running their own wealth.

Explanation:

Mercantilism, is an economic policy that sought the increase of wealth by exports. British mercantilism was possible as the British empire had several colonies that produced great quantities of highly desirable goods such as India. They also have the strongest Navy in the world and this led to scientifically increase the wealth of the nation.  

However, colonies like United States were not happy with this because the wealth that the British extracted from them was not distributed back to the colonies, and more important the colonist of United States had no representation in the British government, while high taxation was demanded for the U.S. colonist.  

This general context in which the mercantilism, the taxation without representation and the unfair distribution of wealth led to United States colonist to sought their independence and create their own constitution.

Why was pressure building for a new constitution during the second half of the 1780s?
egoroff_w [7]

The reason is that the country was in a lot of debt .

<u>Explanation: </u>

America defeated Great Britain during the 1780s, won the battle, and set up a system of government. This composed of success, confrontation, political and economic turmoil and development. The American Revolutionary War concluded in 1783, with George Washington becoming America's first president elected in 1789.

After the battle, the nation had great debt and France just lent money at immense inflation. Paper currency has little value, and coins that caused a major economic recession were hard to obtain. The accumulation of debt and failure to pay debt contributed to revolts like Shay's uprising. For contrast, the United Kingdom declined to buy US goods.

While American colonists in the 1780s had trouble, if this decade of litigation, errors, progress and independence, the nation would not be that today.
