Reconciliation between the American colonies and Great Britain was very unlikely in 1774.

Further Explanation:

After the French and Indian War (1754-1763), the British government was in significant debt. To pay off this debt, the British government turned to the American colonists who they protected during the aforementioned French and Indian War. The colonists disliked the taxes (on products like paper, sugar, etc.) because they had no vote on whether or not they would be implemented. Instead, the British parliament passed the taxes without the colonists input. This sparked outrage and the famous phrase "no taxation without representation." This was just the beginning of problems between Great Britain and the American colonists.

Tensions continually rose between the colonists and British, as shown by events like the Boston Massacre. One of the last straws for the British government was the Boston Tea Party (1773). In Boston, thousands of American colonists boarded British ships and destroyed almost one million dollars worth of British tea in protest of the Tea Act. The British government responded with the Coercive (Intolerable) Acts which severely punished the colonists for the Boston Tea Party. After the passing of the Intolerable Acts in 1774, reconciliation seemed almost impossible.

<span>It probably wasn't possible by 1774 for the 13 colonies and the British government to come together because things had gone too far between them. The 13 colonies thought the taxes imposed on them were ungrateful on the British part. The 13 colonies had fought against New-France from 1754 and 1760 and won the war for Britain. They thought it was ungrateful on the British part to impose taxes on them because of that.</span>

Following the death of Queen Anne in 1714, George I was crowned as king of Britain. Which of the following statements describes
TEA [102]

Answer: He had little domestic interest in Britain and allowed Parliament to consolidate the gains of the Glorious Revolution.

Explanation:

George I was the ruler of a Duchy in Germany before he became King of England and upon his succession, he was not very interested in the affairs of Britain and was frequently going back to Germany. It was even said that he did not speak a lot of English.

These factors and more allowed Parliament and the Prime Minister, Robert Walpole, to claw power from the Monarchy such that after George I died, the Prime Ministerial position got stronger with every succeeding monarch.

Was the French Revolution Successful?
Nuetrik [128]
There was absolute monarchy reigning in France in the XVIII century. The power was concentrated in hands of the First and Second Estate, while the Third Estate did not have enough influence to participate in governing the country. Such a situation led to the discontent of middle, lower and working class that wanted to be heard. Consequently, the French Revolution of 1789-1799 pursued the following goals: reaching justice and equality in society, limiting power of the monarchy and aristocracy, extending influence of the lower class, creating a constitution. Not all the goals were achieved but there was a great success on the way to reaching them.

King Louis XVI was forced to provide the Third Estate with power and influence by the storm of Bastille. Bastille is the largest and the most famous French prison, which had been a symbol of suppression of lower classes for ages. A group of commoners dared storm the prison on 14th of July in 1789. This event provided the Third Estate with more power.

However, freedom and equality were not reached. The Third Estate developed and introduced the Civil Constitution, which appeared quite radical, providing the lower class with rights and freedom and limiting influence of monarchy and aristocracy. This means that the French Revolution succeeded in getting rights and relative freedom for the lower class but it did not reach the whole goal. For example, freedom for slavery in French colonies led to a disaster because slaves did not know what to do when they got this freedom.

Despite of all the achievements, the French Revolution gradually failed. The Third Estate, which was named the National Assembly, tried to protect the ideas of revolution and to save own power by pursuing people, who criticized the revolt, sentencing them to prisons and to death. This led to mistrust and disappointment of the lower class. To sum up, the French Revolution was not successful at reaching all the goals but it was a great step to creating a democratic society, which influenced history of the whole humanity.

How is the principle of states' rights reflected in the Declaration of Independence or the Articles of Confederation?
padilas [110]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Articles of Confederation gave tons of power to the states, even more than the federal government. This idea of states' rights is reflected in the Articles, but it was a bit too much, which is why the Articles were repealed.

Have a wonderful day! :D
