1. E The French and Indian War marked the end of the British policy of salutary neglect and marked the beginning of more involvement by the British crown in the affairs of the colonies. Native Americans were not removed as a threat to the colonies. In fact, the British government issued the Proclamation of 1763 that forbade the colonists from settling beyond the Appalachian Mountains largely due to the threat of Indian attacks. Although the British treasury was, in fact, drained, the significance of the war lay more in the changed British policy. New lands were opened up east of the Mississippi River, not west of the Mississippi River. Florida was given to England, not France.

2. B The Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 provided for the orderly settlement of the Northwest Territory, which the United States had acquired at the end of the Revolutionary War. The government under the Articles of Confederation lacked the ability to enforce law. It also had little ability to control foreign and domestic commerce, and had no provisions for checks and balances since it did not have separate executive and judiciary branches. Although its amending process was simple in design, a unanimous vote was required of the states in order to change the Articles of Confederation. That was not simple to achieve.

5. A One of the most powerful responses to the Stamp Act came out of the Virginia Assembly in the form of the Virginia Resolves by Patrick Henry. His proposals were controversial but were picked up ad ran in most large papers throughout the colonies.

6. A Spanish officials, fearful that Jay's Treaty was actually a secret alliance between England and the United States, capitulated extraordinary concessions.
