<em>The Stamp Act of 1765.</em>

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was the tax that got put on the colonists by Great Britain, this made it so the colonists had to pay taxes on certain types of paper products, like newspapers.

This act was put on the colonists in 1765 and they did not agree with it at all. Many colonists were outraged by this and thought it was unfair that they were being taxed. They felt as if they had no say in what they were being taxed in and they had no colonists in British Parliament that could help plead their case, this is known as "taxation without representation." Great Britain said they needed the money from the colonists in order to pay for the French and Indian War, which was expensive, and they had British troops protecting the colonists. The colonists didn't agree with Great Britain and how they were trying to justify taxing them.

Over time, the colonists started to boycott the merchants and businesses that were selling goods that were stamped by the Stamp Act. They even went as far as threatening the merchants that were selling them and burning many goods. Great Britain realized that many British merchants and businesses were being harmed and essentially nobody was buying the stamped products. They ended up repealing the Stamp Act of 1765 after all of the outrage from the colonists.

At the beginning of the Civil War, who was in the lead? The North or the South and why.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is the South, because in the initial battles and skirmishes Southern Army managed to defeat the Union Army. Among those battles the most famous ones were the battles of Battle of Bull Run and Battle of Wilson's Creek in Missouri. The main reason for this is that the Southern Army had larger number of capable generals who managed to tactically defeat their opponents.

Explanation:

Union Army although had larger numbers didn't had such a strong leadership on the battlefield in the beginning. That is why in most of the first battles during the first year of the war they were defeated.

Do you think it is a good idea that supreme court justices are appointed for life? Explain your answer
Harman [31]
Part of the debate over rights in the 18th century involved the prerogative of kings to remove and appoint judges upon their ascension to the throne. Liberal thinkers believed that lifetime appointments would scale back the power of the king, and therefore represented social progress. If a judge was sure of his seat, he could vote according to his own judgment, despite the wishes of the king. The Whigs in Britain actually won this right, though whether it really served their cause or their government is anyone's guess.
