Why did shipbuilding develop in the New England colonies?

History

<em>C. There were many harbors and abundant timber.</em>

Explanation:

Shipbuilding developed in the New England colonies because there were many harbors and abundant timber.

Since the climate in New England was cold and the soil wasn't very fertile, it was hard to grow crops or focus on agriculture for a living. Thankfully, the New England colonies had other ways of making money.

New England had a lot of areas full of woods, meaning there was an abundance of timber. This meant that it was easy to build things like ships, homes, and furniture. There were also many harbors, as New England was a hot spot for merchants and slave trading. Ships were created not only for these two reasons but also for fishing.

Evaluate the extent to which the Constitution resolved the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. Confine your answer to t
Illusion [34]

Answer: The Constitution improved greatly on the Articles of Confederation by creating an appropriately strong federal government, with provisions for protections of freedom.

Improved strengths of the federal government:

1. Creation of an executive branch of federal government, where the Articles just had a legislature.

2. Creation of a federal court system, with a Supreme Court that has final say (Articles of Confederation only allowed state courts)

3. Congress was divided into two bodies to allow for representation for both small and large states. Congress was granted powers to regulate interstate commerce, levy taxes, and print money.

Protections of freedom:

The Constitution includes the Bill of Rights. This outlines individual rights, and also reserves some rights to the states, so it protects from a tyrannical federal government.
