Formed the Dominion of Canada under the British North America Act.\n\nCanada was recognized as a self governing dominion.  Only foreign affairs were handled by the British government.\n\nIn a nutshell the provinces realized that what they could not do as separate colonies, they could do together as one larger independant nation.

I'm assuming that by "pilgrims" you mean the small group of English settlers who landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. The answer is, that mostly they were on pretty good terms with the Indians for quite a few years, but there were many other groups of English settlers who came to New England in the following years, and eventually in 1675 there was an out and out war between the settlers and indians and thousands were killed on each side. This is called King Phillip's War and you can easily get lots of info about it online.

The British authorities, in order to keep people from gathering together to discuss revolution, made unauthorized assemblies (of people) illegal, and made it illegal for more than a certain (small) number of people to gather together, because then they might make plans against British rule.  So the Founders of course wanted the right to assemble -- and talk about anything they wanted to -- to be one of the guaranteed freedoms from government.

The philosophy was that colonies exist solely for the purpose of creating wealth for the mother country. The colonists felt that at least SOME of the wealth they created should be for their own benefit, not ALL for "the crown", hence the armed conflict known as The American Revolution.

Well, the early colonies didn't have techonoly, cars, music like today, movies, clothes, food, the knowledge, and the books that we have today. There are PLENTY of changes from today and the colonies. It's pretty simple if you sit down and think about it.

Well, this would be 30 years after the puritans landed at Plymouth Rock...Bradford, the religious leader of the puritans finished his personal journal.  It seems that in the 1650s is the beginning of the colonial period;  beginning in gthe 1650s, Great Britian begins to treat those peoples inhabiting the now US as colonists and rules over them as such.

In the revolutionary war, it was commerce and trade laws- The colonies were put under restrictive trade rules that required them to trade only with Britain, and these laws were passed by a parliament that had no colonian representation.  The other major conflict was that Britain inhibited movement of settlers west of the Appalachians.  These were the two major friction points.  In the other war, 1812, it was British raiding US trading ships, confiscating cargo, and taking sailors for conscription into the British navy.

Question 1: The 13 colonial governments took a variety of forms. By 1775, eight of the original colonies had royal governors, who were appointed by the king. Three- Maryland, Pennsylvania, & Delaware were under proprietors who themselves chose the governors. And two- Connecticut and Rhonde Island elected their own governors under self-governoring charters. Practically every colony utilized a two-house legislative body. The upper bosy,or council was normally appointed by the crown in the royal colonies. The lower house, as the popular branch was elected by the people, or rather those who owned enough property to qualify as voters.  (I will get back with you on the other answers)

None.  It was enacted as a response to the searches carried out by England which were the primary reason for the revolutionary wat.  England was issuing "writs of assistance" to customs officers to combat the growing problem of smuggling to avoid taxes paid to England.

Basically, its about Great Britain. At least that's what this site says......\n\n"AN ACT for the better securing the dependency of his Majesty's dominions in America upon the crown and parliament of Great Britain......"\n\nHope this helps. Good luck with the project!

Let's clear up what some of these terms mean. All the people living in the 13 colonies (except the Native Americans) were colonists. Some of the colonists thought that the 13 colonies should seperate from England and form a new nation of their own, legal or not. These were the Revolutionaries or Rebels. But other colonists thought that people of the 13 colonies should support the King and the King's laws. These were the loyalists, as they remained loyal to the (then) legitimate government.\n\nSo EVERY loyalist is a also a colonist. But not every colonist is a loyalist.

Hoist by their own petard.  It all stems, not only from the colonization itself, but the laws put in place afterward (British Commonwealth, former French colonies, etc. all have laws making their ex-colonials, eligible for immigration)
