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)

How is the Cultural Revolution a Human Rights Violation?
valkas [14]

Answer:

In the 1960's Chinese leader Mao Zedong felt that his power was weakening by the day, and the Soviet Union was leading China in the wrong direction. After the failure of the "Great Leap Forward" and the economic crisis afterwards, he tried to convince the youth to revive the revolutionary spirit and change China for the better, starting the Cultural Revolution.

When Zedong called for the younger generation to attack the older generations for their wrongful thinking and lack of revolutionary spirit, he was telling the people to violate the older generation's right to security of person.
