Why did parliament raise taxes on the colonies after the french and indian war

History

Parliament raised taxes on the colonies after the French and Indian War because the British government was in debt.

During the French and Indian War, British prime minister William Pitt allowed the British military to spend as much money as they wanted in order to defeat the French in North America. This ultimately lead to significant debt for the British govenrment.

The British government turned to the colonists to pay off this debt, as they felt it was only fair that the colonists pay for the protection the British military provided the colonists against the French. However, the colonists did not respond well to these taxes because they had no representation in Parliament. This is why the colonists cried "no taxation without representation" in protest of the British government. This would become one of the main reasons for the colonists declaring independence from the British empire.

The fact that there was no national military was a weakness in which area of government? legislative judicial administrative eco
Anna35 [415]

The correct answer is legislative.

The military falls under the jurisdiction of the legislative portion of the government because Congress (which is the legislative branch) has the ability to declare war. Since Congress has the ability to declare war, not having a military would greatly affect their ability to protect the US. This was one of several problems within the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was America's first constitution and was eventually replaced after less than a decade by the US Constitution (still in use today).

Answer: The Roman Empire converted them

Explanation: When the Roman Empire took over, they converted their religion, changing their Greek gods into Gods of the empire, then eventually Christianity became a mass religion and many polytheistic and pagan individuals were forced into Christianity.

The Greek gods are still believed in by some people, called "Hellenic Pagans". If you believe in the Greek gods still, I recommend checking it out.
