Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Define direct democracy as a system of government in which the people meet to discuss issues and make political decisions by majority rule.
2. Define indirect democracy as a system in which the people vote for representatives who make decisions based on the people's behalf. The term republic is often used to describe indirect, representative democracies.
3. Explain that in the United States, the voters elect lawmakers to represent them. This is a form of indirect democracy. Elements of direct democracy are much less prominent in the United States.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Explain how wealthy people in England and other European nations wanted to increase their wealth. They brought laborers with them. Thus, commerce was the primary reason for many people to settle in America.
2. Discuss the establishment of at least two colonies. For example, there were English commercial settlements in Virginia. Puritans left Europe in 1620, landing in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Settlers from Finland, Germany, and Sweden colonized New Amsterdam, which was later named New York. Ultimately settlements were established in many areas of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York.
