On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the Constitution. Two key states — Virginia and New York — gave their approval during the next month. An important factor in swaying the state conventions was a commitment from the Federalists to add a bill of rights after ratification.

The Federalists agreed to allow a Bill of Rights AND to drop the issue of the abolition of slavery.

The debate over ratification was waged in the newspapers, through pamphlets, and on the floor of the state conventions, where the vote was often close. Those who favored the strong national government provided for in the Constitution called themselves the Federalists; their opponents became the Antifederalists.

In your opinion, is taking the law into one's own hands

Svet_ta [14]

The simple answer to your complex question is NO. This is assuming that you live in a country where there are good laws (remember that history is full of bad governments that implemented bad laws) and that law enforcement is effective. Simplisticly, you should only ask yourself this question when your or your families life is being threatened and law enforcement is not around. Your response must still be within the constraints of your laws or you will find yourself in hot water. I'm not even going to try to discuss the ethics and morals that can apply as the situation can vary immensely. Keep it simple - don't operate outside the law, rather fight against unjust laws.

Which of the following did NOT shape the character of English settlements in America?

stepan [7]

The correct answer is The colonies promoted freedom of religion.

Explanation:

English settlers first arrived on the American continent at the beginning of the 17th century and over the next years and centuries colonies were formed mainly along the east coast of the continent. These colonies partially resembled England but also were different in some aspects.

In terms of religion, the colonies were mainly restrictive. This can be explained due to the great influence of puritans who emphasized the importance of Protestantism and morals related to it. Indeed, due to this belief in some colonies such as Massachusetts those considered to be witches were persecuted. According to this, the colonies were not characterized by freedom of religion.
