question 2 (5 points)

○ georgia
○ virginia
○ massachusetts
○ boston

Explanation:

Question 1:

Authoritarian governments have centralized power with limited political freedoms. An absolute monarchy has a single ruler (monarch) with unrestricted power, fitting authoritarian. Representative democracy (elected reps, democratic), sovereign state (independent, not gov type), direct democracy (citizens vote directly, democratic) are not authoritarian.

In 1774, the First Continental Congress was attended by 12 colonies. Georgia, due to concerns about Native American attacks and British military support, did not send delegates. Virginia, Massachusetts attended; Boston is a city, not a colony.

Answer:

A. Absolute monarchy
