Explanation:

Question 1

In the first - half of the 18th century, England's colonial administration was decentralized, with different colonial governors having varying degrees of power and often leading to inefficiencies. Trade policies were not strictly enforced during this period, and there was no major push to tax American merchants specifically at this time. The focus on New France was more prominent during and after the French - Indian Wars, and there was no significant crackdown on newspapers and public expression yet.

Question 2

The Albany Plan of 1754 was proposed to create a union of the colonies for mutual defense and other common interests. However, the colonies had difficulties in agreeing to cooperate with each other, showing their individualistic tendencies. It was not intended to give greater independence from royal authority, was not approved by colonial assemblies and not vetoed by Parliament, and it did not aim to create a united front with New France against Indians.

Question 3

As a result of the Seven Years' War, England confirmed its commercial supremacy and increased its political control over the settled regions in North America. It did not lose global commercial supremacy, did not grant more political autonomy to the American colonies (in fact, it led to more control), and there was no significant shift away from the Caribbean colonies.

Answer:

1. was decentralized and inefficient.
2. revealed the difficulties colonies had in cooperating with each other.
3. confirmed its commercial supremacy and increased its political control of the settled regions.
