1- The correct answer is C. The Founding Father that attempted to take Fort Duquesne and, in doing so, ignited the French and Indian War was George Washington.

2- The correct answer is A. England won the most territory as a result of the French and Indian War.

Explanation:

1- George Washington tried to take Fort Duquesne at the battle of Fort Necessity, which was a confrontation of the French and Indian War that took place on July 3, 1754 in the western part of the State of Pennsylvania. It is considered, along with the battle of Jumonville Glen, as the beginning of the war that soon spread to Europe, where it became known as the Seven Years' War. This battle led to the only surrender of George Washington in his military life.

2- During the war, France lost control over all of its Canadian possessions, which was ratified by the Treaty of Paris. It lost all his colonies east of the Mississippi, except Saint Pierre and Miquelon, two islands near Newfoundland. In the Caribbean, it only maintained the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.

Great Britain had clearly been the great victor of the conflict, managing to dominate the entire east coast of North America and eliminating a rival colonial empire that prevented it from spreading inland. It also gained importance in Caribbean waters thanks to the numerous places won to the French.

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this
