21. Possible responses should include the following points:
The Great Awakening encouraged ideas of individual worth, equality, and the idea of challenging
authority. The Enlightenment taught that people had rights to life, liberty, property, and that government
should protect these rights. Both of these movements prompted colonists to examine English policies with
an increasingly critical eye and to judge whether the English government was guarding colonial rights.
22. Possible responses should include the following points:
England's treatment of the colonies before the Glorious Revolution was relatively harsh, as evidenced by
the circumstances surrounding the establishment of the Dominion of New England. When the Glorious
Revolution ended the king's autocratic rule in England, it was ended in the colonies as well, as evidenced
by the overthrow of Governor Andros. As representative government was established in England by the
Glorious Revolution, England let the colonies reestablish their elected legislatures.
