 <span>Mercantilism was an economic theory that posited that the richer a nation was,the more powerful it would be.It was the dominant economic system in the West throughout the 18th century. 

Colonies could be exploited for cheap raw materials - furs,lumber,fish and so on - that could be used to feed the home populations of the colonizing countries,and for use in producing manufactured goods in these countries.America had all these things in abundance,which encouraged European colonization there.</span>

Which of the following were goals of the Stamp Act? Select the three correct answers.
kow [346]

Answer:

Correct answers are:

a. to raise revenue for British troops stationed in the colonies

b. to raise revenue to pay the British debt from the French and Indian War

c. to gain control over the colonists

Explanation:

A, B and C are correct because after the war with France the national debt of Britain was higher than ever. In addition to that they decided to locate large number of troops in the colonies with the goal to protect what was achieved in the war. Of course, all of this meant that they need new taxes. That is why Stamp Act was enacted, because they needed to control the colonists who were paying the taxes more than ever.

D is not correct answer because British crown was trying to make colonists obey them more, not to unify them.

In ancient Athens, only the very wealthiest people paid direct taxes, and these went to fund the city-state's most important national expenses – the navy and honors for the gods.
