The primary reason colonists demanded independence was
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson is considered the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, although Jefferson's draft went through a process of revision by his fellow committee members and the Second Continental Congress.

How the Declaration Came About

Map of the British Colonies in North America in 1763Map of the British Colonies in North America in 1763

America's declaration of independence from the British Empire was the nation's founding moment.  But it was not inevitable.  Until the spring of 1776, most colonists believed that the British Empire offered its citizens freedom and provided them protection and opportunity.  The mother country purchased colonists' goods, defended them from Native American Indian and European aggressors, and extended British rights and liberty to colonists.  In return, colonists traded primarily with Britain, obeyed British laws and customs, and pledged their loyalty to the British crown.  For most of the eighteenth century, the relationship between Britain and her American colonies was mutually beneficial.  Even as late as June 1775, Thomas Jefferson said that he would "rather be in dependence on Great Britain, properly limited, than on any nation upon earth, or than on no nation."[1]

But this favorable relationship began to face serious challenges in the wake of the Seven Years' War.  In that conflict with France, Britain incurred an enormous debt and looked to its American colonies to help pay for the war.  Between 1756 and 1776, Parliament issued a series of taxes on the colonies, including the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Duties of 1766, and the Tea Act of 1773.  Even when the taxes were relatively light, they met with stiff colonial resistance on principle, with colonists concerned that “taxation without representation” was tyranny and political control of the colonies was increasingly being exercised from London.  Colonists felt that they were being treated as second-class citizens.  But after initially compromising on the Stamp Act, Parliament supported increasingly oppressive measures to force colonists to obey the new laws.  Eventually, tensions culminated in the shots fired between British troops and colonial militia at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

Paladinen [302]

The correct answers are C) The Senate must pass the exact same bill on the floor as the House and D) A bill passed in one chamber that is changed in committee in the second chamber, must both approve the conference report for any changes made to the original bill passed.

For a bill to pass both chambers (the House of Representatives and the Senate are called chambers), the following must occur: The Senate must pass the exact same bill on the floor as the House and a bill passed in one chamber that is changed in committee in the second chamber, must both approve the conference report for any changes made to the original bill passed.

In the United States, a bill becomes law following these steps:

First, a member of Congress introduces a bill. The piece of legislation is referred to as the appropriate committee. Then, it is placed on the calendar of the house to be debated. This is when the bill gets to the Floor. The House of Representatives debated and the n, the Senate debate. If there are differences, a conference committee meets and reach an agreement. Then Congress passes the bill to the Executive to sign it. The President can veto the bill and is returned to Congress. If the President signs the bill, it became law.
