British Parliament passed the Stamp Act to assist replenish their finances after the costly Seven Years’ War with France. Part of the revenue from the Stamp Act would be wont to maintain several regiments of British soldiers in North America to take care of peace between Native Americans and therefore the colonists. Moreover, since colonial juries had proven notoriously reluctant to seek out smugglers guilty of their crimes, violators of the Stamp Act might be tried and convicted without juries within the vice-admiralty courts.

Answer:

The purpose of the tax was to pay for British military troops stationed in the American colonies after the French and Indian War, but the colonists had never feared a French invasion to begin with, and they contended that they had already paid their share of the war expenses.

13 Which of the following factors triggered the French Revolution?
Crank
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>C) A financial crisis</u> triggered the French Revolution.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Many factors caused the French revolution but most of them stemmed from poverty and financial crisis. France was divided into three estates which due to some politics and other issues led to social inequalities.  

One cause of the revolution was because the two states had privileges like collecting tithe and paying taxes was not a requirement while the third state paid hefty taxes. Therefore, the third state rebelled in retaliation. Another cause was the financial crisis due to countless battles fought.  

The battles cost France a lot leading to the economic crisis and brink of bankruptcy. These wars include the war which French formed allies with America in the pursuit of American independence. Other factors include poor harvest and increased bread prices. There had been a volcano eruption which led to bad weathers, poor harvest, poverty, and famines. This exasperated the retail price of staple food and other supplies.
