Why did early americans write the constitution and bill of rights? (5 points) they wanted to convince great britain to let them have independence without further fighting. they needed to set up a new government and wanted to be sure it could not abuse their rights. they planned to use it to place limits on the actions of the british king and the soldiers present. they established a new government and restricted citizen rights to calm and stop the warfare.

false. hope this !

i do believe its (d) it allowed the government to offer pioneers sixty acres of western land if they lived on it and made improvements to it.

explanation: signed into law in may 1862, the homestead act opened up settlement in the western united states, allowing any american, including freed slaves, to put in a claim for up to 160 free acres of federal land. by the end of the civil war, 15,000 homestead claims had been established, and more followed in the postwar years
