1. During the 1600s and 1700s, the British and the French were engaged in the settlement of North America. They wanted land for the colonies for the beneficiaries of the raw materials and commercial tales the colonies would bring. Then, Benjamin Franklin proposed the Union Plan of Albany in the colonies that formed a United Government. However, each individual colony would have to renounce some powers and not a colony. This made the colonial war a start, where the french were partially successful. For this reason the Proclamation of 1763 was created. Also, the taxes increased and trade laws were strengthened in order to help pay for the war.

2. To help appease the Native Americans, the British King George also declared that settlers should not settle west of the Appalachian mountains. In order to guarantee that the colonists obeyed him, 10,000 soldiers were sent to the 13 colonies. A few years later, to help pay for the war, Britain would increase taxes and trade laws, causing more problems with the settlers. The French and Indian war was a precursor.

3. The French and the Native American carried out raids and captured western colonial farms and fortresses. The French loss was a big problem for Native Americans. The British raised the cost of commercial products. They refused to pay the Native Americans for the use of their lands.

4. The fight between North America and the British/French ended in 1763, when Britain defeated France and ended wha is known  in Europe as the "Seven Years of War"

Answer: Ok so here this is a more longer version of my answer.

Explanation:The Founders believed that the main purpose of government was to protect people's basic rights. Almost all citizens have the right to participate in governing our nation. They may choose among many different ways of doing this.

Ways citizens can participate:

•looking for information in newspapers, magazines, and reference materials and judging its accuracy

•voting in local, state, and national elections

participating in a political discussion

•trying to persuade someone to vote a certain way

•signing a petition

•wearing a button or putting a sticker on the car

•writing letters to elected representatives

•contributing money to a party or candidate

•attending meetings to gain information, discuss issues, or lend support

•campaigning for a candidate

•lobbying for laws that are of special interest

•demonstrating through marches, boycotts, sit-ins, or other forms of protest

•serving as a juror

•running for office

•holding public office

•serving the country through military or other service

•disobeying laws and taking the consequences to demonstrate that a law or policy is unjust

Should citizens participate?

Many citizens do not participate in our government. They don't vote or participate in most of the other ways you have just discussed. However, some people believe that citizens have a responsibility to participate.

Deciding whether to participate and how much time to spend participating is important.

An alien is a person who is not a citizen. Many aliens can become citizens by following certain rules and procedures.

Many citizens do not participate in our government. They don't vote or participate in most of the other ways you have just discussed. However, some people believe that citizens have a responsibility to participate.

An example may help. Imagine that you have hired a company to repair your bicycle. Before you hired them, you would want to be sure they could repair bicycles. Then you would want to make sure that they did what you had hired them to do. Suppose the company did a good job. Then you would not worry about checking on them if your sister's bicycle needed repairs a few weeks later.

The same is true with the government. We should be sure the people we "hire" (elect) can do the job we are hiring them for. Once they get the job, we should keep an eye on them to make sure they are doing that job. If they do a good job, we may not watch them as closely. If they do a bad job, we may watch them very closely and may even decide to replace them.

Participation in government is in our own self-interest. The amount of time we spend participating will probably depend on how well we think our elected officials are doing. If everything is going well, we will spend less time than if we are concerned that someone is violating our rights. If we are pleased with the government, we may vote and do little else. If we are dissatisfied, however, we will probably take other types of action.
