Answer:

The complaints chosen were: Not able to trade freely  and Unfair taxes.

Explanation:

                                      Open letter to readers

Our country is hundreds of years old, our territory is rich, rich, productive and efficient. Our people are honest, hardworking and ready to take care of their own destiny, their own business and their own prosperity. Amidst all these admirable qualities I wonder: how long will we be subjected to the British abuses that prevent our nation from moving forward.

We are a captive people, as we have no control over our own resources, which have been exploited dishonestly by the British for years. First of all, we must stress that England forbids us to freely negotiate our products, produced and built, planted and harvested by us. This keeps us at the mercy of the English trade, which believes that it has the right to price our work in a way that reduces us and leaves us dependent on England.

We are not a dependent people and we have to reaffirm our supremacy over our products and our autonomy to do business as we see fit.

Not satisfied, England decided to enrich our costs by charging abusive and totally unjust taxes, which are not transformed into services for us but for them. As a result, england is increasingly educated and structured, while we do not have the financial resources to improve education, transportation, communication and countless socioeconomic issues in our country.

This makes me ask you, readers: How long will we accept this type of administration? Will we have to wait thousands of years? Haven't we already been harmed enough by this petty nation? Shouldn't we fight for our defense?

How was Massachusetts Bay Colony simultaneously theocratic, democratic, oligarchic, and authoritarian?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The Massachusetts Bay Colony government was able to be, at least partially, simultaneously theocratic, democratic, oligarchic, and authoritarian. It was able to be partly theocratic because of the doctrine of the covenant, which stated that the whole purpose of government was to enforce God’s laws. God’s laws applied to everyone, even nonbelievers. Everyone also had to pay taxes for the government-supported church. This meant that religious leaders held enormous power in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

They were able to effectively control who was admitted to the church by conducting public interrogations of people who claimed to have experienced conversion. The last reason it was partially theocratic was one of the main governors, John Winthrop, believed he had a “calling” from God to lead the Massachusetts colony. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was partially democratic for a couple of reasons. First, the freemen elected the governor and his associates each year. The freemen also voted for a representative assembly called the General Court. The Colony was also partly an oligarchy.

It was an oligarchy because only Puritans could be freemen and were eligible to vote. Puritans were even more limited because religious leaders could control who was admitted into the church. Finally, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was partially authoritarian. This was partially because many of the residents were Puritans. Puritans shared in the “Protestant Ethic”, which involved serious commitment to work and to engagement in worldly pursuits. Everyone was held to these standards because of this. Everyone was expected to do this, even if they weren’t Puritan.
