 Best Answer

The tax imposed by the crown was actually lower than than taxes paid in England. The problem was we were not consulted or given a voice on the issue. The King tried to pass it off so that later on other taxes imposed on the colonies could be done without consent because we didn't argue about having a tax lowered. 

Pure and simple it was a way to impose control without consent.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

As there is no specific question here, we assume that what you need is to list and include the argument for each explanation. If that is the case, then the explanations would be the following.

Most Honorable Delegates, I recommend that state leaders replace the Articles of Confederation. We need a new Constitution. I have listed three weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation below. I include an explanation of why each weakness is a problem.

Weakness #1: The Articles of Confederation left a weak central government.

Explanation: Congress, the central figure of the federal government was very limited and had few responsibilities such as running the post office and dealing with Native American issues.

Weakness #2: the central government did not have money.

Explanation: The states were sovereign under the Articles of Confederation. That meant that they could collect money through taxation. If the central government needed money, it had to ask for it from the states.

Weakness #3: Security of the country. The central government could not raise an army.

Explanation: Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government was not capable to raise a much needed national army. This issue became important during the Shay Rebellion in Massachusetts.

Akimi4 [234]

The most likely reason why  General William T. Sherman wanted to control the rail lines running through Atlanta, Georgia, during his "Atlanta Campaign" was because he wanted to “cut off the flow of supplies to the Confederate army.” so option C) is the correct one. Sherman was a Union general during the American civil war and he ordered to destroy the railways from Atlanta to Georgia in order to avoid that the Confederate army received iron and steel supplies which were essential for the troops. This practice of destroying railways was called “Sherman's neckties”.

Alina [70]

Answer:

A. It put into practice the concepts of constitutional monarchy and indirect election.

Explanation:

France's first constitution was significant because it created a constitutional monarchy, something that the French had desired for so long because they always have had a corrupt monarchy ruling them.

Indirect election was also significant in the constitution because the people could have some form of say in government to choose their ruler.
