Explain why the british thought they had the right to tax everything

History
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
7 0
The British king thought he was the divine ruler appointed by God, for one, so he thought he was all powerful. The settlers they were taxing were originally British, most of them at least, and so they thought it was their natural right to tax their own people. They would have taxed <em>everything</em> because it was a way to make money, and they would have done so simply because they could. They thought that they had the <em>right</em> to tax everything because, as <em />I said before, they thought they were a divine ruler appointed by God, and therefore, they thought that that gave them the <em>right</em> to tax everything.

The east coast of present-day north america is a good example of a(n) ________ continental margin.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

The correct answer is - Passive.

The passive continental margins are transitional zones between the oceanic and continental crust, lithosphere, and it is not an active plate margin. This type of margins form from sedimentation over an ancient rift, which has now become a transitional lithosphere. This type of margins can be found further away from the ocean ridges, but also away from the active continental margins. The east coast of North America is a nice example of a passive continental margin. It has all the characteristics of it. It is made out of sediments, it is a transitional zone between continental and oceanic lithosphere, it is far away from the mid-ocean ridge from one side, and the active continental margins on the other side.
