Answer 1

1. The British ended the Dutch tradition of allowing freedom for married women.

Step-by-step explanation:

In August of 1664, Great Britain took over the Dutch colony that became New York and also took over New Sweden (later called Delaware). Four English frigates sailed into the harbor of New Amsterdam which was the Dutch colony and demanded that the colony should surrender. Director Peter Stuyvesant negotiated some favorable terms of surrender and then seceded the colony to the Great Britain.

After the British took over, the Dutch Women's right, Premarital rights were changed completely by the British and this reduced the prevalent crime of prostitution and theft among the Dutch women. So, contrary to the Dutch constitutional rights, women are now mandated to be ruled and controlled by their husbands completely. She could no longer write a prenuptial agreement or maintain an independent long standing, rather she is now being guarded and controlled by her husband.

Answer 2

The correct answer is 4

New Amsterdam was the name given to the capital of the New Holland colony, established in the Hudson River Valley region from 1609 to 1664, which is the original nucleus of today's New York City.

In fact, this center founded by the Dutch was, as in other parts of the globe dominated by them, more a trading post than an effective population center. In other words, the reason for New Amsterdam's existence was to trade with local people, buying and selling products from a trading post, heavily protected by a stockade.
