Answer:

I am prepared to stop oil extraction and use of petroleum.

Explanation:

Yes, I support a global push to go away from oil towards cleaner fuel sources regardless of much it might affect us. As a citizen of Saudi Arabia, I know that our country's economy depends on the extraction of fuel and its contribution is the backbone of our country.

However, if we look into impact it has on the environment, it is really disheartening. The earth is getting rapidly warmer each day, many animal species are on the verge of extinction, there are multitudes of environmental crisis everywhere, and the polluted air is affecting the lives of millions.

I understand that doing away with extraction of oil would greatly affect the standard of living of many people, yet it is worth the risk. The government of Saudi Arabia can always look for alternative ways to invest our billions of revenue into other avenues such as technology, tourism, corporate, renewable energy, etc.

We can adopt economic measures and practices like Japan and Korea where investments are channelled into technology and computer science. Though doing away with extraction of feul may put lots of people at stake, the future generations would at least have a better and cleaner earth. We cannot deny the implications of petroleum and it is becoming very threatening everyday. Therfore, I am prepared to stop oil extraction and use of petroleum.

In a 6-8 Paragraph explain how the stamp act led up to the American Revolution
kow [346]

Answer:

The Stamp Act was a tax put on the American colonies by the British in 1765. It said they had to pay a tax on all sorts of printed materials such as newspapers, magazines and legal documents. It was called the Stamp Act because the colonies were supposed to buy paper from Britain that had an official stamp on it that showed they had paid the tax.

The French and Indian War was fought between the British American colonies and the French, who had allied with the American Indians. It lasted from 1754 to 1763. The American colonies eventually won the war, but only with the help of the British army. The British government felt that the colonies should share in the expense of the war and help to pay for the British troops in the Americas. The Stamp Act of 1765 was a tax to help the British pay for the French and Indian War. The British felt they were well justified in charging this tax because the colonies were receiving the benefit of the British troops and needed to help pay for the expense. The colonists didn't feel the same.

The colonists felt that the British government had no right to tax them because there were not any representatives of the colonies in the British Parliament. The colonies had no say in how much the taxes should be or what they should pay for. They didn't think this was fair. They called this "taxation without representation".

The colonies reacted in protest. They refused to pay the tax. The tax collectors were threatened or made to quit their jobs. They even burned the stamped paper in the streets. The colonies also boycotted British products and merchants.

The American colonies felt so strongly against the Stamp Act that they called a meeting of all the colonies. It was called the Stamp Act Congress. Representatives from the colonies gathered together in New York City from October 7 to October 25 in 1765. They prepared a unified protest of the Stamp Act to Britain.

It was during this time that groups of American patriots called the Sons of Liberty began to form. They took the protests of British taxes to the streets. They used intimidation to get tax collectors to resign from their jobs. The Sons of Liberty would play an important role later during the American Revolution.

Eventually, the protests of the colonies to the Stamp Act began to hurt British merchants and businesses. The Stamp Act was repealed on March 18, 1766. However, the British Parliament wanted to send a message to the colonies. The Stamp Act may not have been a good way to tax the colonies, but they still felt they had the right to tax the colonies. The same day they repealed the Stamp Act, they passed the Declaratory Act which stated that the British Parliament had the right to make laws and taxes in the colonies.

The British government didn't stop trying to tax the colonies. They continued to add taxes including a Tea Tax that would lead to the Boston Tea Party and eventually the American Revolution.

Rainbow [258]

The principle of separation of powers is a model for the governance of a State that was created by Montesquieu. It provides a system of checks and balances that ensures that the different branches control each other. <u>This principle is improved with a bicameral legislature since it requires that two different bodies of government pass laws.</u>
