Explanation:

First Question:

The House of Burgesses, established in 1619 in Virginia, was the first elected legislative assembly in the American colonies. The Continental Congress was later, Parliament is British, and the Albany Congress was for colonial unity planning, not the first elected assembly.

British impressment (forcing U.S. sailors into British service) and interference with U.S. trade were key causes of the War of 1812. The American Revolution was about independence, the Civil War about slavery, and the French and Indian War was before U.S. independence.

Principles of the U.S. Constitution include popular sovereignty (power from the people), checks and balances (branches limit each other), and federalism (shared power between state and federal). Unlimited government power is against the Constitution's principles.

Answer:

B. House of Burgesses
