Explanation:

Question 25

In Virginia, laws were made by the House of Burgesses (the first representative assembly in the colonies). In New England, especially in towns, laws were made through town meetings where male citizens would gather to discuss and vote on local matters.

The English Bill of Rights established certain rights and limited the power of the monarchy. Colonists benefited as it influenced colonial governance and rights. For example, it promoted the idea of limited government and rights of the people, which were reflected in colonial charters and the way colonists expected to be governed (e.g., no arbitrary rule, right to petition, etc.).

The voyage of slaves from Africa to America as part of the triangular trade is known as the Middle Passage. Slaves were transported in harsh conditions across the Atlantic Ocean during this leg of the trade.

Answer:

In Virginia, laws were made by the House of Burgesses. In New England, laws were made through town meetings (where eligible male colonists participated in law - making and governance).
