Answer:
The people can dictate what the Constitution says.
Explanation:
The Constitutional amendment is called the ultimate check because "the people can dictate what the Constitution says."
This is because the process of Constitutional amendment in the United States involves the approval of the majority at both all the state legislatures in the country and the Congress including both the Senate and House of Representatives.
By involving a large number of elected representatives in determining the constitutional amendment, it is then concluded that the Constitutional Amendment is the Ultimate Check.
<em>The Stamp Act</em>
Explanation:
The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 and was a tax that Great Britain put on the colonists. Paper products such as newspapers and legal documents now had this tax on them, which sometimes contained a seal or a stamp which proved the purchaser paid the tax on the product.
The colonists were not happy with the Stamp Act and they felt as if it was unfair that they were being taxed. They had nobody to vouch for them in the British Parliament, which is called "taxation without representation." They started to get angry and boycott the products that contained the tax, even sometimes becoming violent and harming British merchants.
On the other hand, Great Britain deemed its taxing to be fair. The French and Indian War was expensive and since it was fought on American soil, they believed the colonists should pitch in. They also said the tax was unfair because they were using their own soldiers to protect the colonists.
The colonists still did not agree with this. They were very strongly against the Stamp Act and even being taxed in general. This would eventually start to hurt British merchants and businesses, which made Great Britain realize this tax was doing more harm than good. They then repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.
The British would cede all lands east of the Mississippi River and North to Canada to the United States except for Florida, which would be given back to Spain.
