History

3 0

The Whiskey Rebellion was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791 during the presidency of George Washington. The whiskey tax was the first tax put in place on a domestic product with the new government. It was intended to help reduce debt from the revolution. The tax was on all spirits but since whiskey was the most popular one of all. 

The tax was resisted by farmers in the western frontier regions who were used to distilling their surplus grain and corn into whiskey. In these regions, whiskey was sufficiently popular that it often served as a form of exchange. Many of the resisters were war veterans who believed that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution, in particular against taxation without local representation, while the U.S. federal government maintained that the taxes were the legal expression of the taxation powers of Congress.

Throughout counties in Western Pennsylvania, protesters used violence and intimidation to prevent federal officials from collecting the tax.

Since the adoption of the Bill of Rights – the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, ratified in 1791 – only 17 amendments have cleared the hurdles necessary to be codified in the nation's founding document, the last of which was ratified in 1992. There are four ways to amend the Constitution, though only two have ever been used</span>

To what extent was the role of the Supreme Court mapped out by John Marshall different from the role envisioned for the court by
sasho [114]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options provided, we can say the following.

John Marshall's approach was different from the role envisioned for the court by the writers of the Constitution in that Marshall believed the United States Constitution granted strong federal powers; Jefferson did not.

John Marshall was a federalist. Thomas Jefferson was not. He was an anti-federalist. Then, Marshall considered the idea of a strong central government. On the other side, Jefferson thought that a strong government was not the better option for a new nation, and even worse, a strong federal government could turn into a tyranny.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour and water, usually by baking. Throughout recorded history, it has been a prominent food in large parts of the world. It is one of the oldest human-made foods, having been of significant importance since the dawn of agriculture, and plays an essential role in both religious rituals and secular culture.

Explanation:

Bread may be leavened by naturally occurring microbes, chemicals, industrially produced yeast, or high-pressure aeration. In many countries, commercial bread often contains additives to improve flavor, texture, color, shelf life, nutrition, and ease of production.
