Question

True/False. As people in England called for more freedoms (speech, press, religion, etc.) and fought for their rights, colonists were cut off from the English government system so that those ideas would not corrupt them.

Answer 1

False. Colonists in the American colonies believed they were entitled to the protections of the Bill of Rights and expected the balance of power to remain in their favor.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. As people in England called for more freedoms (speech, press, religion, etc.) and fought for their rights, colonists were not cut off from the English government system to prevent the corruption of these ideas. In fact, many colonists in the American colonies believed they lived under an enlightened form of government and saw themselves as British citizens entitled to the protections of the Bill of Rights. The colonists expected the balance of power to remain in their favor since governors often came around to their position.
