A seventeenth-century colonial woman who believed she was cheated out of money would have the best chance of having her case heard if she lived in:
a. Santa Fe.
b. Jamestown.
c. Quebec
d. New Amsterdam.
e. Mexico City.

The correct answer is D. New Amsterdam

Explanation:

During the seventeenth century, different settlements or colonies were created in America, this included English settlements, French settlements, Spanish settlements, and even dutch settlements. In the case of New Amsterdam, now New York, this was created by Dutch colonists. Also, this settlement was different from other colonies of the time due to its high population and structured judicial system; indeed, the settlement established a court system that dealt with small crimes.

Also, in this colony, women had more rights and autonomy including the right to participate in businesses; this allowed them to create own business, handle money, and be heard in the court for any matter related to this. Thus, a woman in the 17th century living in New Amsterdam would likely have her case heard, which would not occur in other colonies.
