D. is not correct. Are you just guessing?

Do you work on school work during the "normal" school day? It seems to me that you're tired now.

No, I wasn't guessing, I thought that was it. I think it's C then.

And I work on schoolwork throughout the day, starting at noon, til' night. So I am kinda tired :|

To find the answers to your questions, I will guide you through a step-by-step process.

Question 3: Which of the following was a weakness of the Articles of Confederation?
To answer this question, let's take a look at each option and evaluate its fit as a weakness based on our understanding of the Articles of Confederation.

a. Only Congress had the power to tax: This was indeed a weakness of the Articles of Confederation. The central government's inability to levy taxes directly on individuals or states limited their ability to fund essential functions effectively.

b. There was no legislative branch of government: This option is incorrect. The Articles of Confederation did include a legislative branch called the Congress, which consisted of the states' representatives.

c. State governments had no authority: This option is also incorrect. The Articles of Confederation had a weakness in terms of providing a strong central government, but they did recognize the authority of state governments.

d. There was no national court system: This option is correct. The lack of a national court system weakened the Articles of Confederation as there was no effective way to resolve disputes between states or enforce federal laws.

Based on the evaluation, the correct answer to question 3 is d. There was no national court system.

Question 5: Which three colonies were founded in an attempt to escape religious persecution?
To answer this question, let's consider the options and identify which colonies were primarily established for the purpose of escaping religious persecution.

a. New York, New Jersey, and Georgia: These colonies were not founded explicitly to escape religious persecution. Therefore, option a is incorrect.

b. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Maryland: This option is correct. The colonies of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Maryland were indeed established as safe havens for individuals seeking religious freedom.

c. North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia: These colonies were primarily established for economic reasons and were not founded as a refuge from religious persecution, making option c incorrect.

d. New York, Virginia, and Georgia: Like option c, these colonies were not founded specifically to escape religious persecution, so option d is incorrect.

Based on the evaluation, the correct answer to question 5 is b. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.

Question 6: A major goal of the encomienda system was to...
To answer this question, let's consider each option and determine which one aligns with the purpose of the encomienda system.

a. Force Native Americans to work for Spanish colonists: This option is correct. The encomienda system was a labor system utilized by the Spanish colonists in the Americas, which involved the forced labor of Native Americans to benefit the Spanish settlers.

b. Drive Native Europeans off their land: This option does not align with the purpose of the encomienda system, so it is incorrect.

c. Help Europeans adapt to Native American culture: This option is incorrect. The encomienda system did not aim to facilitate cultural adaptation but rather exploitative labor practices.

d. Prevent the development of social classes in the Americas: This option is incorrect. The encomienda system did not have a goal of preventing the development of social classes; rather, it contributed to the establishment of distinct social hierarchies.

Based on the evaluation, the correct answer to question 6 is a. Force Native Americans to work for Spanish colonists.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
