History
1 answer:
rusak2 [61]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

In peacetime during America's early decades, most of the federal government's revenue came from import taxes called tariffs. The U.S. Congress passed the Tariff Act of 1789 to help generate revenue to pay off its war debts and to encourage and protect manufacturers in the northern states.

Explanation:

The three main sources of federal tax revenue are individual income taxes, payroll taxes, and corporate income taxes. Other sources of tax revenue include excise taxes, the estate tax, and other taxes and fees.

The chief way the government gets the money it spends is through taxation. Figure 1 shows the relative sizes of sources of federal government tax revenues. Forty-five percent of federal tax revenue comes from individuals' personal income taxes. Another 39 percent comes from Social Security and Medicare withholdings.

Who were the major aggressor nations of the 1930's and how did they build their empires?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Germany, Italy, and Japan

Explanation:

They were the aggressor nations during the 1930's until 1943 for Italy (Italy surrendered in 1943), and 1945 for Germany/Japan (Germany surrendered in May/Japan in August/Sept). Hitler took leadership of Germany in 1933: Due to the "Armistice Agreement" that ended WWI, Germany was forbidden to build a strong Army, Navy or Air Force. He found a "loophole" around the treaty by building an army which trained on wooden rifles & machinguns, and cardboard tanks. His navy was built around submarines, a vessel not considered as important as Battleships. His Air Force was created by civilian "Flying Clubs", using GLIDERS to train his future pilots. By the end of the 1930's, Germany violated the treaty restrictions in THE OPEN, as there was no "teeth" in the enforcement of the treaty. Mussolini took leadership of Italy in 1922, and simply developed his armed forces from the position that they occupied when he took over. Mussolini attempted to "re-create a new Rome." Hirohito inherited the throne, becoming Emperor in 1926. In 1926, Japan was already a powerful war machine. Having defeated China in 1894, Russia in 1905, and was an allied power against Germany during WWI (1914-1918).

Which statement best describes how the Proclamation of 1763 attempted to prevent problems between the colonists and Native Ameri
Alborosie

Answer:

The Proclamation of 1763 attempted to prevent problems by trying to prevent the encroachment of European settlers on native lands.

Explanation:

The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by the British government. The proclamation effectively created a boundary that separated the Atlantic colonies in the East from the lands that were beyond the Appalachian Mountains to the West. West of this land was considered Native territory.  Pontiac's Rebellion of Native Americans led to the edict issued by King George III. It made it illegal for private citizens and colonial governments to buy land from Native Americans of their own accord.
