1. How did the colonists unite America?
First the 13 colonies didn’t want to be ruled by Britain with absolute power. They were discontent with the local council. Then there was The First Continental Congress. After that the war started. After the war, in 1783, Britain signed The Treaty of Paris to recognize the independence of the 13 colonies. And the United States of America was born
2. How did the legislature take part in the structure of federal government?
There were two parts in the legislature. The Senate stands for the States and the House of Representatives stands for the people’s interests in the States.

4. Why did the people in the Enlightenment object to absolute power?

5. Explain one of the acts that created economic discontent amongst the America colonies.
