Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop douceur

00:05

brought to you by the mother country She sent it

00:08

along with an extra pair of warm socks and some

00:10

brownies All right check the following passage from democracy in

00:13

america Alexis to toqueville All right thirteen colonies prevent religion

00:18

Same loss with fellow david and control Ok and we're

00:22

done Here we go According to the author which of

00:25

the following factors most strongly influenced the colony's tendency to

00:31

divide and hear the potential answers All right religious linguistic

00:35

lost Okay well no trick questions here people We just

00:40

need to make sure we're given the passenger close Reid

00:43

so that we know exactly what alexis to toqueville thinks

00:46

about all this If we don't feel like reading Well

00:48

we can also check out his podcast Ask alexis it's

00:51

really popular Actually we can't because it doesn't exist It

00:54

are amazing Close reading skills allow us to eliminate a

00:58

without a whole lot of thought Well in paragraph one

01:00

alexis directly says that the colonies were pretty similar when

01:04

01:12

We can get rid of d right along with it

01:14

Alexis also tells us that the colonies had laws that

01:17

were basically the same since their laws were similar It's

01:20

safe to say that their understanding of the rule of

01:22

law was similar as well we'll be might be tempting

01:25

because states rights definitely sounds like something that might have

01:28

come up in history class However alexis doesn't ever use

01:31

the term state's rights so we can just get rid

01:34

of choice be guess he was asleep that day in

01:35

history class Well answer c is correct In paragraph to

01:39

alexis says that each colony used to be governed separately

01:43

The later on they missed the independence that allowed them

01:46

to do things their way The original thirteen colonies sound 00:01:49.158 --> [endTime] a lot like every married person ever
