The statement is true regarding the sugar tax as it was new tax on molasses. The purpose of this act was to stop the sugar smuggling by decreasing the earlier tax and implementing new collection duties.

The act was introduced by the new British Prime Minister, George Grenville. Moreover, the aim of this act to decreased the colonial trade.  

The goal of this law was three-fold.  

1. First, the British felt that smuggling was close to endemic and the rule of law was being curtailed by illicit trade.

2. The second goal was this act to secure British trade by announcing new trade restrictions following the established Navigation Acts.  

3. Three, the French Indian War had taken a toll on British finances and the Americans had to pay for their security.

Is the Electoral College a fair and democratic way of selecting the president?
lidiya [134]
This depends on ideals and opinions but from my point of view it is not a fair and democratic way of selecting the president due to the fact that the citizens of this country have no real say in who is president. Therefore it is not democratic. Fair? No because the electoral college Can have biases just like any other human and they are not the majority. This goes hand in hand with the democracy question. If I was to be democratic. The citizens should cancel out what the electoral college says.
Now I’m the side of the reasoning as to why the electoral college exists. It’s understandable. Everyone is not trustable enough to decide the fate of the country. Overall it is not fair and democratic.
