Jefferson approved of having the House of Representatives chosen by voters because he was convinced that people should only be taxed by Representatives whom they have elected.

Jefferson literally stated: "I like the power given the Legislature to levy taxes, and for that reason solely I approve of the greater house being chosen by the people directly. For though I think a house so chosen . . . will be very illy qualified to legislate for the Union, for foreign nations, etc., yet this evil does not weigh against the good of preserving . . . the fundamental principle that the people are not to be taxed but by representatives chosen . . . by themselves".

Allushta [10]

Answer:

It created a divide within the imperial court.

Explanation:

Leo III prohibited the veneration of images that represented Christ and the saints in 726. He did so for reasons of religious and political order.

This prohibition of a custom, which had undoubtedly resulted in all kinds of abuse, seems to have been inspired by a genuine desire to improve public morals, and gained the support of the official aristocracy and a sector of the clergy. But a great majority of theologians and almost all monks opposed these measures with firm hostility, and in the western part of the Empire the people refused to obey the edict
