Question

Can someone give me and answer to 15 or 16?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. In the Declaration of Independence, the pronoun "he" refers to King George III of Great Britain.

2. "For imposing taxes on us without our consent".

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence is like a breakup letter between the US and Great Britain.

The American colonies were with Great Britain, but they disliked the monarch and felt it was unwise to follow commands from someone so far away. Because of this long-distance relationship between the colonies and Great Britain, the colonies didn't feel as though their concerns were being addressed by the British government. They believed that nobody was speaking for them.

The Declaration of Independence was therefore written by the founding fathers in an effort to sever ties with old Big Britain. They prepared a list of the reasons they want freedom in it.

How good of a king was King George III to the American colonies?

The American colonists believed that Parliament was the issue and that George III would resolve it, but that did not pan out. George III succeeded his grandpa George II as king since his father died when he was still a child. George III wished to eliminate Parliament's preeminence over the King. However, George III was a constrained man and really an inflexible German-Brit who continued the war long after the British military realized they couldn't put an end to the distant insurrection. He could have saved the situation by calling an American Parliament, which would have taxed the Americans who voted them in. A good illustration of why monarchy fails is George III.

What is meant by 'no taxation without representation'?

This was a rallying cry during the American Revolution. The British government intended to levy taxes on the American Settlers and collect those taxes. The colonized peoples demanded representation in the British Parliament to help them shape the taxes that should be imposed on them since the colonizing authority did not comprehend the concerns and hardships of the settlers. If not, they refused to pay the taxes levied against them by a foreign government. The Boston Tea Party and following American War of Independence, with the motto "No Taxation without Representation," were sparked by the British unwillingness to give in to the Colonies' demands.
