Native American societies pre-British colonization were diverse, communal societies with significant cultural, social, and economical differences. Agriculture and trade were integral to many tribes' ways of life. The arrival of British colonizers brought substantial disruption and devastation.
On the eve of British colonization, Native American societies were extremely diverse, with various tribes and groups possessing vastly different cultures, social structures, and ways of life. In fact, there were hundreds of distinct tribes across North America, each with their own unique traditions and beliefs. Native American societies were largely communal, with resources and land being shared among the entire tribe.
Many tribes were matrilineal, meaning lineage and inheritance came through the mother's line. Agriculture was a primary activity for many tribes, with crops such as corn, beans, and squash (collectively known as the 'Three Sisters') being fundamental to survival. However, other tribes were more nomadic, depending on hunting, gathering, and fishing for sustenance. Trade networks between tribes were also prevalent and essential for exchanging goods and services.
British colonization, however, brought severe disruptions to these societies as the British colonists sought to control resources and land, frequently leading to conflict and the devastating loss of life due to disease, warfare, and dispossession.

On the eve of British colonization, Native American societies were diverse, with various groups having distinct traditions and ways of life. They lived off hunting, fishing, and farming, and their social organization and cultural practices were grounded in profound respect for the land. The encounter with European colonization led to significant changes and challenges for these societies.
On the eve of British colonization, Native American society was incredibly diverse. Native Americans were not a monolithic group but composed of many different tribes, clans, and bands each with its own unique traditions, languages, and social structures. Predominant societies included agricultural civilizations such as the Creek, Choctaw, and Cherokee in the southeastern region, and nomadic tribes like the Sioux and Apache in the Great Plains area. The Iroquois Confederacy located in the northeastern region exemplified political complexity with a democratic system, a rarity in that era.
In terms of economy, many tribes were largely dependent on hunting, fishing, and farming. Some societies like those in the Pacific Northwest developed intricate trade networks. Spirituality was central to Native American life, and much of their social organization and cultural practices were rooted in a profound respect for the land. These diverse cultures experienced significant change and often devastation with the arrival of European colonization.

A. Judging a person's actions based on his or her cultural context
Explanation:
Cultural relativism is when you judge actions based on their own culture instead of being judged relatively to another culture. This is not ideal in every situation since there are some cultures around the world that practice some very unhealthy or dangerous rituals which we find bad in our western culture. Or for example, they used to burn widows in some parts of India and we would not tolerate that in the USA for example regardless of your culture because that is not moral.

The three branches of the U.S. government have different roles in the federal system, with the legislative branch making laws, the executive branch enforcing laws, and the judicial branch interpreting laws. The U.S. Constitution is the main law of the country, with changes made through a detailed amendment process. Powers are distributed among various levels of the government, with some being reserved for the federal or state governments, and others being concurrent.
1. The legislative branch is responsible for making laws, the executive branch for enforcing laws, and the judicial branch for interpreting laws.
2. The Elastic Clause, also known as the Necessary and Proper Clause, allows Congress to make laws that are necessary for carrying out its other powers.
3. The amendment process involves proposal either by Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention. It is then ratified by either three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions in three-fourths of the states.
4. Concurrent powers are shared by both the state and federal government such as the power to tax, build roads, or create lower courts.
5. Enumerated powers are specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution, for example, the power to declare war or establish post offices.
6. The system of checks and balances prevents any one branch from gaining too much power. For instance, the President can veto a bill, but Congress can override it.
7. Reserved powers are those that the Constitution does not delegate to the national government or prohibit to the states. Examples include regulating intrastate commerce or establishing local governments.
8. The Supremacy Clause establishes the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, and U.S. treaties as the supreme law of the land.
9. The highest legal authority in the United States is the U.S. Constitution.
10. A federal system of government is a system in which power is divided between a national government and various regional governments.
11. Congress, as part of the legislative branch, is most involved in the amendment process.
12. Implied powers are powers not explicitly named in the Constitution but assumed to exist. An example would be the establishment of the Air Force under the power to raise an army.
13. If a state law conflicts with a federal law, the state judge should rule in favor of the federal law, due to the Supremacy Clause.
14. In a federalism Venn diagram, delegated powers (exclusive to the national government) would be on one side, reserved powers (exclusive to the state) on another, and concurrent powers (shared by both) in the overlap.
15. The leader of the executive branch is the President.
