By 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, trouble was brewing in America. Parliament (England's Congress) had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists did not like these laws.
Great Britain was passing these laws because of the French and Indian War, which had ended in 1763. That war, which had been fought in North America, left Great Britain with a huge debt that had to be paid. Parliament said it had fought the long and costly war to protect its American subjects from the powerful French in Canada. Parliament said it was right to tax the American colonists to help pay the bills for the war
Most Americans disagreed. They believed that England had fought the expensive war mostly to strengthen its empire and increase its wealth, not to benefit its American subjects. Also, Parliament was elected by people living in England, and the colonists felt that lawmakers living in England could not understand the colonists' needs. The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry.

D is the correct answer
Explanation:
Periodization is the categorizing the past in blocks of time for the study and analysis of the history and to understand the current and historical processes. Since history is continuous, no system of periodization is perfect and without periodization, the past is just scattered events. The period labels in history are not permanent, they are constantly challenged as discoveries happen and historical events come into the light.

You could get yourself informed on trusted government or political sites. You could watch the news, have verbal sources for information, or research things on various sites of the internet.
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Certain Government sites will tell you about the outcomings of the election, the state of our nation with other countries (Such as Afghanistan), and other various things.
Watching the news is a debatable source of information. For example, some news programs tell it how it is, while other sources will pull on your heartstrings or bring up evidence to give you a sense of empowerment.
Verbal sources include podcasts and people around you.
Various sites of the internet means going onto a lot of different sites and getting the opinions and facts centered around something. This can include following a political channel.
Usually books are included in information-grabbing, but there will likely not be a book on something happening right now, as it takes months for a book to go through the stages.
