The first act that the Parliament passed in an attempt to raise revenue by taxing the American colonists was The Sugar Act. The Sugar Act increased the duties on sugar imported from the West Indie.  

 

EXPLANATION  

The American Revenue Act 1764 or also called the Sugar Act is a law used to close the smuggling of sugar and sugar cane drops in the colonies by reducing tax rates and orders to increase duties on sugar imported from West Indie. Besides, several commodities such as leather, hides, and potassium are added to the list of products that can be legally exported under the Navigation Law. This was introduced by the Prime Minister of England, George Grenville.

Overall, the important points of this law are three:  

1. First, the UK is aware that illegal trade has damaged existing law enforcement so the law needs to be strengthened.  

2. Second, protect UK trade by setting new trade limits in accordance with the Navigation Law.  

3. Three, the Indian and French Wars have sacrificed British finances, so Americans must pay taxes for their own protection.

Throughout history, Jews have been a persecuted minority. How do you think they have managed to persevere through so many genera
agasfer [191]

Answer: Jews have always been attached to religious identity and political cult.

Explanation:

Regardless of their subjugation by different peoples, the Jews were always able to distinguish the secular laws imposed by the rulers to whom they were subjugated. Still, at the same time, they maintained their spiritual identity. The Jews did not have their land, so there was no reason to revolt against those whose secular laws they had to obey.

There was no logical need to stand up for their country and fight because they did not have it. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the idea of a Jewish state began to emerge, Jews grew stronger, and their intellectual elite became increasingly influential. Hitler hated the Jews because he believed that they were to blame for the economic situation in which Germany found itself after the First World War. The Jews were influential bankers and merchants, so the Hitler needed a culprit and found him in the Jews. Hitler also hated Jews for the simple fact that he was a racist or anti-Semist.
