8th grade social studies??
Ummm... lemme take a shot :)



1. The legislative branch of the U.S. federal government makes laws.



or



The legislative branch of the U.S. government is made up of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives.



2. A longhouse was used by early Native Americans as a home.



or

The longhouses used by Native Americans would often contain members of an extended family.



3. The Mayflower Compact was the first written agreement for governance in North America.



or



The Mayflower Compact was signed before the passengers left the Mayflower to ensure that they would continue to be law abiding citizens in the New World.
Reply:How about some large hints!!?? The legislative branch is one of the three branches of our government. The executive enforces the laws and the judicial interprets the laws. The legislators do not work in longhouses, which in a Native American abode, but work in the state or national congress or legislature. The Mayflower Compact has nothing to do with female make-up kits but does have a lot to do with one of our most important historical documents. Think majority rule and the rule of law!!
