The Sugar Act, also known as the American Revenue Act, was a revenue-raising act passed by the British Parliament of Great Britain in April of 1764. The earlier Molasses Act of 1733, which had imposed a tax of six pence per gallon of molasses, had never been effectively collected due to colonial resistance and evasion.

How did Rasputin affect the relationship between the government and the people of Russia?

Kisachek [45]

Rasputin was considered as the enemy of the people of Russia, but he had a great influence over the imperial family. He was a Siberian monk and was considered very unorthodox. Myths were prevelant that Rasputin had miraculous powers and he was capable of performing certain miraculous feats. This brought Rasputin closer to the imperial family. The son of the Royal family suffered from blood disease and this helped Rasputin to increase his control over the imperial family and this made him influence the king in case of appointing people in the government. His excesses were overlooked until he was murdered in the year 1916.
