The Sugar Act, also known as the American Revenue Act or the American Duties Act, was a revenue-raising act passed by the Parliament of Great Britain on 5 April 1764.[1] The preamble to the act stated: "it is expedient that new provisions and regulations should be established for improving the revenue of this Kingdom ... and ... it is just and necessary that a revenue should be raised ... for defraying the expenses of defending, protecting, and securing the same."[2] The earlier Molasses Act 1733, which had imposed a tax of six pence per gallon of molasses, had never been effectively collected due to colonial evasion. By reducing the rate by half and increasing measures to enforce the tax, the British hoped that the tax would actually be collected.[3] These incidents increased the colonists' concerns about the intent of the British Parliament and helped the growing movement that became the American Revolution.[4] ( THIS IS FROM WIKIPEDIA)

Describe Rome's expansion from a small town to an empire.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The Romans emerged as a small and largely insignificant people in the Italian peninsula around 753 BCE. Romans were also known as Latins, for the language they spoke and the plain where they lived. The city was founded and built on the Tiber River. Rome was ruled as a kingdom during this earlier period, and the limits of its kingdom were confined to a small area of the city of Rome and the surrounding lands. Not much is documented about Rome at this time.

According to Roman tradition, in the year 509 BCE, Rome rebelled against its king and transformed itself into a republic. A republic is a form of government with representatives and not a king. During this period, Rome became a power in the region. Over the next few centuries, the Romans waged a number of wars against other Italian groups on the peninsula, including some Greek city-states. By winning territory from the legendary Greeks, Rome gained respect and power.By the end of the Punic Wars, Rome found itself in control of a vast territory in places around the Mediterranean. Rome’s leaders began to claim more power for themselves around 50 BCE, and by 27 BCE the Republic fell, and an empire under control of the leader was established. The empire was also powerful, but faced more challenges. A combination of corrupt leaders, outside attacks, and just too big an empire to control led to the decline of Rome.
