<span>The Second Continental Congress was divided by differing beliefs on where the central strength of the government should lie.

Similarities:

Differences:
Decrease of monarchical powers:
The glorious revolution only severely reduced the power of the monarch, whereas the other two (French and American revolutions) effectively removed the monarch.
The Glorious revolution and French revolution led to immediate change, whereas the American revolution only led to an institutional change. Women were still considered property of men, and only rich white male land-owners could vote in the new American Republic.
The correct answers are map making, compasses, and square sails .
Map making made significant progress during the Age of Exploration (when Europeans were sailing to Asia). Thanks to maps that accurately included North and South America and their separation from Asia, sailors were better able to navigate their way around the globe.
Compasses also helped tremendously. These devices helped sailors to find their bearings and assess what direction they were heading.
Lastly, square sails helped in the process of traveling from Europe to Asia. During this period, caravels became ships developed by the Portuguese. These easily movable ships often used square sails as a means to direct their boat.
