What effects did the Declaration of Independence have on the revolutionary war?

1 answer:

6 0

The declaration was a laundry list of affronts to the colonies by King George III, wherein Jefferson et.al. argued that since the monarchy did not treat the colonists like other Britons, the colonists had the right to form their own sovereign nation. It was also intended to justify this action to other monarchies to prevent them from helping Britain retain the colonies under the doctrine of Intervention. So it helped to justify the war domestically and internationally.

Why was Great Britain in so much debt?

Ghella [55]

Explanation:

The British thought the colonists should help pay for the cost of their own protection. Furthermore, the French and Indian War had cost the British treasury £70,000,000 and doubled their national debt to £140,000,000. Compared to this staggering sum, the colonists' debts were extremely light, as was their tax burden.

how did the fact that the roman army consisted of poor volunteers contribute to the collapse of the roman republic

SIZIF [17.4K]

So, if your army consists of untrained and unskilled volunteers - the only chance you have is winning in numbers. However, sometimes even that isn't enough. If you don't have strong, well built, and skilled warriors to defend your nation - an attack could leave you vulnerable to a collapse.

How did the Connecticut Compromise in the Philadelphia Convention lead to the acceptance of the Constitution?

fiasKO [112]

Answer: a) It allowed each state to choose its delegates for the Senate, which established equal representation among the states.

Further details:

The Connecticut Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787. Also known as "The Great Compromise," it resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. It was important because it created a two-chamber legislature, with proportional representation in the House and equal representation for all states in the Senate.

The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. (This was the essence of the Virginia Plan.) The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation. (This was the New Jersey Plan.)

The Great Compromise (aka Connecticut Compromise) created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
