The Non-cooperation movement (1920-1922) started after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, by the Congress under Gandhi's guidance. The purpose of this movement was to protest in opposition to the repressive policies of the British and to achieve self-government. The Non-cooperation movement was successful and was only in its final phases when the Chauri Chaura episode happened, where 22 policemen were killed after peasants attacked and burnt the police station. This event disgusted Gandhi as he was against violence with no exceptions.
The two groups into which the Congress divided after the Non-cooperation movement were the <em>pro-changers </em>and the <em>no-changers</em>.
The <em>pro-changers</em> group wanted to terminate the prohibition of elections to Legislative Councils. They felt that the conformation of the system was only possible by competing elections and gaining access to the legislature. It had leaders like Motial Nehru, Vithalbhai Patel and C R Das.
The <em>no-changers</em> group initiated a new party with the same Swaraj Party, in order to work as a group inside the Congress. They entered the legislature through elections and made it inconvenient and hard for the British to get their policies passed. Its leaders were Rajendra Prasad, C Rajagopalachari, and Vallabhbhai Patel.
Answer:
Statement: Reason:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. line DA = line CB 1. It is a parallelogram (two sets of parallel lines)
line DC = line AB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. m<b + m<c = 180 degrees 2. Same side Interior Angles Theorem
m<d + m<a = 180 degrees. (If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,
then the same side interior angles are
supplementary.)
The taxes which hit the poor hardest are those of local and state governments.
Federal government taxes are progressive, which means that people are taxed based on their income - this means that rich people have to pay higher taxes than poor people. On the other hand, local and state taxes are regressive, meaning the taxes are based according to the service bought - it's the same for the rich and the poor, but given that poor people earn much less money than the rich, they will be affected more direly.
