If it were simple it wouldn't be an exam question.  \n\n(I'd write about specifics, and say the impact of colonial rule depends on the nature of the colonial power and rule, and the people who implemented it, and on the society and peoples on whom the rule was imposed.  Fopr instance, there were great differences in the forms of colonialism practiced in Africa by Britain, France and Belgium. In almost every case colonialism introduced "modern" practices for good and ill, and creaated gerrymandered countries which intensified conflict between incompatible local societies.)

Yeah, could be the Articles of Confederation.  Or it could be the Mayflower Compact...the settlers had written that up before they even arrived.

You might learn a lot from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonization\nI think the borders were more a part of the monarchy's decision to allow for different parties to control different areas as they gradually made their way on to the continent

The most radical departure was the presidency, instead of a monarchy.  The British had the Magna Carta, and actually a pretty good judicial system (which we adopted to a great extent), and they had parliament which was not that different from congress.  But a monarchy that is inherited is vastly different from a presidency which is voted upon every four years.

The Legislative Process or How a Bill Becomes a Law\nThis is a simplified look at the legislative process and just one path legislation may take to become law:\n\n\nThe President writes a piece of legislation and gives it to a member of the House of Representatives. This version of the bill along with any introduction is drawn up as a House Document.\n\n\nThe legislation, now a Bill, is referred to a committee which may hold Hearings and make changes to the Bill accordingly.\n\n\nThe committee will draw up a House Report to transmit the bill and its opinions to the floor.\n\n\nFinally, a version of a Bill arises that both houses of the Congress can agree upon and they pass it into law which is issued as a Slip Law.\n\n\nSlip Laws as bound together each year in the Statutes at Large.\n\n\nThe Statutes at Large are codified every six years into the U.S. Code.\n\nFor a more indepth explanation of the legislative process, consult one of the sources below:\n\nHow Our Laws Are Made \nThomas, Library of Congress \nhttp://thomas.loc.gov/home/lawsmade.toc.html \n\nStages of the Legislative Process \nAvailable through the database LexisNexis Congressional

The agency gets its power by a delegation of authority from the legislature.  If the legislature doesn't agree with the rules being adopted or the policing of those rules they can strip the authority with additional legislation.  They can even disband the agency if they want to.  It's a game of hard ball though, and not easily carried out.

Unlike the rest of the colonies, in Connecticut and Rhode Island the people of the state elected the governor, and, aside from the Navigation and a few other restrictive laws, were practically independent of the Crown. The legislature was bicameral. The respresentative system of government was common to all the colonies.\n\nConnecticut and Rhode Island were chartered (the corporate was the same as the charter form) colonies.
