Explanation:

• For the first question, the American victory at the Battles of Saratoga convinced France to ally with the colonists, which was a major turning - point. Major fighting did not end; trade and supply options were not taken from the colonials; and the war did not shift back to New England.
• For the second question, both Washington and Hamilton favored a strong federal government. They did not want to increase state power, resist a national bank, or disband the military.
• For the third question, the judicial branch is passive as it waits for cases to come to it and is independent due to lifetime appointments and separation of powers. Its power has not decreased over time, it does not combine powers of the other branches, and it was not created much later.

Answer:

• Question 7: They led to France entering the war on the colonial side.
• Question 8: a strong federal government
• Question 9: It is passive and independent.
