Explanation:

29. In a parliamentary system, the legislature chooses the chief executive. In authoritarian systems, power is concentrated and not chosen in this way. Federal systems deal with the division of power between levels of government. Monarchical systems have a monarch as a central figure, not chosen by the legislature in this context.

30. Jeffersonians were against a strong central government, monarchy, executive authority, and restraints on local groups. Federalists generally favored a stronger central government. Republicans is a more general term and not the most specific here. New York delegates is too specific a group and not the over - arching group in question.

31. Jamestown set up a representative assembly as its form of government. A social contract is a theoretical concept, not the form of government established there. Monarchy was not the form of government there. Authoritarian regime is incorrect as well.

32. By 1732, there were thirteen colonies in what is now the United States.

33. The closing of Boston Harbor by the British was a response to the Boston Tea Party. It was not seen as reasonable by the American colonists. It was not an instance of the British handing over control to the Massachusetts government. It was not a precursor to the Stamp and Sugar Acts.

34. Thomas Paine's Common Sense advocated the idea that the formation of the country's own government was a "natural right". It did not advocate for a government loyal to the king. It was not about limiting further immigration. It was not about an end of hostilities toward Britain in the way described.

35. Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. John Locke was a philosopher. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were important figures but not the primary drafter.

36. A social contract is a voluntary agreement among individuals to secure their rights and welfare by creating a government and abiding by its rules. A confederation is a loose alliance of states. A federation is a more formal union with a stronger central government.
