Answer 1

A is the correct answer

Answer 2

The answer is A. Pennsylvania Charter of Privileges.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1701, William Penn created the Pennsylvania Charter of Privileges for the residents of his colony. Penn envisioned a colony that permitted religious freedom, the consent and participation of the governed, as well as other laws pertaining to property rights. The Charter of Privileges recognized the authority of the King and Parliament over the colony, while creating a local governing body that would propose and execute the laws. Penn clearly states the responsibilities the citizens have in selecting virtuous men to lead and govern what many would refer to as the “Holy Experiment.”
