MTEL History With complete solutions 2024Magna Carta 1215 Answer: is a charter agreed by King John of England at Runnymede, near
Windsor, on 15 June 1215.[a] First drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury to make peace between the
unpopular King and a group of rebel barons, it promised the protection of church rights, protection for
the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the
Crown, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons.
Massachusetts Bay Colony Answer: The territory administered by the colony included much of
present-day central New England, including portions of the U.S. states of Massachusetts, Maine, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
Sugar, Currency, Stamp, Quartering Act Answer: - Tax things to make money for Britain
These incidents increased the colonists' concerns about the intent of the British Parliament and helped
the growing movement that became the American Revolution
The Boston Massacre Answer: The Boston Massacre, known as the Incident on King Street by the
British,[2] was an incident on March 5, 1770, in which British Army soldiers killed five male civilians and
injured six others. British troops had been stationed in Boston, capital of the Province of Massachusetts
Bay, since 1768 in order to protect and support crown-appointed colonial officials attempting to enforce
unpopular Parliamentary legislation. Amid ongoing tense relations between the population and the
soldiers, a mob formed around a British sentry, who was subjected to verbal abuse and harassment. He
was eventually supported by eight additional soldiers, who were subjected to verbal threats and thrown
objects. They fired into the crowd, without orders, instantly killing three people and wounding others.
Two more people died later of wounds sustained in the incident.
Boston Tea Party Answer: The Boston Tea Party (initially referred to by John Adams as "the
Destruction of the Tea in Boston"[2]) was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, on
December 16, 1773. The demonstrators, some disguised as American Indians, destroyed an entire
shipment of tea sent by the East India Company, in defiance of the Tea Act of May 10, 1773. They
boarded the ships and threw the chests of tea into Boston Harbor, ruining the tea. The British
government responded harshly and the episode escalated into the American Revolution. The Tea Party
, became an iconic event of American history, and other political protests such as the Tea Party
movement after 2010 explicitly refer to it.
Intolerable Acts Answer: The Intolerable Acts was the American Patriots' name for a series of
punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea party. They were meant to
punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in throwing a large tea shipment into Boston
harbor. In Great Britain, these laws were referred to as the Coercive Acts.
First Continental Congress Answer: as a meeting of delegates from twelve of the thirteen colonies
that met on September 5 to October 26, 1774 at Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, early in
the American Revolution. It was called in response to "The passage of the Coercive Acts" (also known as
Intolerable Acts by the Colonial Americans) by the British Parliament. The Intolerable Acts had punished
Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party.
Declaration of Independence Answer: is the usual name of a statement adopted by the Continental
Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies,[2] then at war with
Great Britain, regarded themselves as thirteen newly independent sovereign states, and no longer a part
of the British Empire. Instead they formed a new nation—the United States of America. John Adams was
a leader in pushing for independence, which was unanimously approved on July 2.
The Articles of Confederation Answer: formally the Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union,
was a document signed amongst the thirteen original colonies that established the United States of
America as a confederation of sovereign states and served as its first constitution.
Constitution Answer: s is the supreme law of the United States of America.[1] The Constitution,
originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of government. Its first three articles
entrench the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into
three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the executive, consisting of the
President; and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts. Articles Four, Five
and Six entrench concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments
and of the states in relationship to the federal government. Article Seven establishes the procedure
subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it.
