Answer:

The idea of being self governed and united contributed (lead) to the democracy we have now.

The Mayflower Compact continued the idea of law made by the people.

This idea lies at the heart of democracy.
From its crude beginning in Plymouth, self-government evolved into the town meetings of New England and larger local governments in colonial America.

money to run the country.

And there was no regulation of trade- no enforcement power, meaning no consistency.

Requires a unanimous vote to make changes- no separate Executive.
No enforcement of power- people is states do what they feel Is needed

The first constitution accrued after the revolutionary war,
The United States needed a type of government so we were not under a monarchy.

Unable to pay their debts and threatened with mortgage fore closures.
Shays rebellion was the fiercest out break of public discontent in the new Nation and demonstrated the weaknesses of the articles of confederation.

In the late 1800s, after treaties and reservations failed, the United States Army went to war with American Indians in the West.
Georgia [21]
I’ll give you two:

Yes: The “War” on the Indians was not a traditional war of declaration but of skirmishes. When wagon trains of people headed West Indians would commonly target them for raids and pillage, so along many routes forts where built and patrols would try and make sure they were safe. If the problem became worse the local garrison would find the tribe and come with a list of demands. Most of the time they were fired upon arrival out of fear or anger. This would lead to a small battle or skirmish which would likely cause collateral damage.

No: The wars raged in the west against the Indians were that of near genocide, and to call it anything but is misleading. To claim that the slaughter of hundreds of innocent people was a “battle” is absurd and shouldn’t be considered. Though in films that depict such events are dramatized and inaccurate, situations much like those were taking place around the west yearly.
