Answer: B, It is more mountainous to northeast.
I believe it is A. American colonists were required to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper including playing cards, legal documents, newspapers and other publications. The reason it is called the Stamp Act is because all of these papers had to be physically stamped to prove that they had paid the tax. So it has nothing to do with taxing postage stamps, so the answer should be A.
Answer:
C.) While both the Ottoman Empire and Western European states relied heavily on forced conversions to expand and maintain their empires, the Ottoman Empire remained more religiously tolerant than the Western European empires.
Explanation:
I got this question right on the first try. Here's why I knew it was C. You would need to have some knowledge about the Ottoman Empire's role of religion. I don't know if it says in the passage, so if you do find it, then give me a heads up. Remember, how did the Ottoman Empire treat the minorities? Did they force persecution/conversion to Islam? Well, not really. Although they did develop the devshirme system, it was kinda of a force conversion because the children had to give up their Christian belief, but it was seen as an opportunity. They weren't punished, so answer A is not right. So they did practice religious tolerance. Also the Ottoman Empire tried to expand the empire to make it bigger as well. There wasn't any religious wars carried out the Ottoman Empire, and answer B does not make sense. Where in the passage does it say about those two empires having efforts of doing mass conversions. Look at Source 2. Sorry if this explanation is long, but I hope this helps :)
To make sure Congressional policies were being carried out...I'm almost positive.
That depends. Who's asking?
