After two battles in Saratoga, the Americans forced General Burgoyne to surrender his army of nearly 6,000 men, which stands as the turning point of the war. Why was the American victory at Saratoga so important?

Explanation:

The Two Battle of Saratoga occurred simultaneously on September and October, 1777, during the American Revolution. The first battle took place on 19th September on the farm of Loyalist John Freeman near Saratoga. This is why this battle is also known as the Battle of Freeman’s Farm. In this battle, both the Americans and the British forces had to pull back, however, the British suffered more casualties than the Americans.

By October, the number of American troops increased to over 13,000 while the Britishers nearly 6,000 men led by General Burgoyne became helpless as their backup did not come as requested. General Burgoyne had to surrender on 17 October as he ran out of options.

The American victory at Saratoga was so important as it was a turning point in the American Revolution. The victories in the battles of Saratoga uplifted the spirit of the revolutionaries and the soldiers. It gave them hope and strength towards fighting for American freedom. It also attracted support from the  French, Spanish and Dutch in fighting against a mutual enemy.

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this
