Answer:
In Hartford, Connecticut, the first constitution in the American colonies, the “Fundamental Orders,
Explanation:
The correct answer is B) Each country had its own agenda about the post-war world.
The correct question should read: The leaders of the United States, the USSR, and Great Britain said they wanted to cooperate, so why were negotiations at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences so difficult?
The other options were A) The leaders were not honest about their goals. C) Germany and Japan were still seen as a threat by the Allies. D) The end of the war was still far away.
So negotiations at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences so difficult because each country had its own agenda about the post-war world.
It all came down to political and economic interests for each of the above-mentioned countries. The Soviet Union, in particular, was not satisfied with the negotiations regarding territorial control. That is why Joseph Stalin started to spread Communism in many Eastern European countries such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, Albania, Hungary, East Germany, and Rumania.
Answers:

- August 2, 1776
- The Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria
- The Meuse-Argonne Offensive (World War 1)
===================================================
Explanations:
- The capital would change places throughout the young history of the US before permanently moving to Washington D.C. This location is a sort of neutral ground between the north and south (note how it's fairly halfway between the two extremes).
- Despite Columbus discovering the Americas in 1492, the Vikings were actually before him. Though I have a feeling your teacher is leaning toward Columbus considering question 4 asks about that. Also, the Native Americans were already in the Americas when both parties discovered the continents, so it really depends on how you phrase the question.
- Many think that July 4th, 1776 was the date of signing, but this is likely not the case. The declaration started around this time window, but the actual signing process took place August 2, 1776.
- These three ships were the ones that first arrive in the Americas in 1492. Some scholars dispute that these were the official names of the ships and they may have had other names. I have a feeling your teacher will be leaning toward the answer I mentioned above.
- It probably depends on context. If you mean on American soil, then the deadliest civil war battle would be the Battle of Gettysburg (7,863 people killed). If you expand out the scope to include any American war, then the deadliest battle was The Meuse-Argonne Offensive during World War 1. About 26,277 people died during this battle. I'm defining "deadliest" in terms of the most number of people killed.
Aristotle is remembered for his contributions to the field of philosophy and science during the Hellenistic era.
One of the biggest contributions made by Aristotle was the way in which he researched an issue. His advice to study books/research done on topics, to perform independent studies, and to gain a sense of the general consensus on a topic are the foundation of what would later become the scientific method.
So it's B
