to what extent did the fundamental orders of connecticut and the bacon's rebellion promote democracy?

Answer 1

Fundamentals Orders in 1639. They were a set of laws that allowed the Connecticut colony to govern itself. The Fundamental orders were made up of a legislative and a judicial branch. The legislative branch passed the laws, and the judicial branch decided if the laws were carried out fairly. In 1662, the King of England gave them a charter: The Royal Charter. A charter is a legal document giving certain rights to a person or group of people. In this case, the King of England gave the Connecticut colony the right to govern itself.

Bacon's Rebellion or the Virginia Rebellion was an uprising in 1676 in the Virginia Colony, led by Nathaniel Bacon. It was the first rebellion in the American colonies in which discontented frontiersmen took part; a similar uprising in Maryland occurred later that year. The uprising was a protest against the governor of Jamestown. Nathaniel Bacon demanded aggressive Native American policy.
