I wish to write briefly of
the character and importance of the quit-rent, without
trespassing more than can be helped upon the subject of
Professor Bond's volume. His volume deals with the
quit-rent system in all fhe British colonies in America
before the Revolution and discloses the long-continued
and wide-spread influence of this seemingly trivial detail
of the colonial land system. It gives to the quit-rent for
the first time its proper place not only as a feature of
colonial land tenure and legislation, but as a contributory
cause also to the discontent which brought on the Revo-
lution. This little incident of men 's daily lives, probably
unfamiliar to a majority of those to-day who are versed
in colonial history, involved a principle quite as funda-
mental as that of no taxation without representation and
one that probably had more actual influence in bringing
about independence than had some of the widely heralded
political and constitutional doctrines of the pre-Revo-
lutionary period. It is, therefore, of the meaning and
significance of this somewhat obscure payment, badge of
an inferior title to the soil and relic of feudalism and the
past, that I would say something here. The subject in-
volves more than an incident of land tenure, it raises the
question of the treatment of 'history as well.
When we consider the liking which every American has
for his " heritage of freedom," it is not surprising that
the aristocratic and feudal characteristics of our colonial
beginnings should have been either overlooked entirely
by writers on our early history, or if discussed at all
Answer:
Width = 44451 yards
Length = 177771 yards
Explanation:
We defined the variables thus:
x : playing field´s width
y : playing field´s length
The perimeter is 444444, then:
2x+2y = 444444
If the length of the field is 33 yards less than quadruple the width
y = 4x-33
We have an equation system that we can resolve by substitution.
2x+2(4x-33) = 444444
2x + 8x -66 = 444444
10x = 444510
x = 44451 yards
and how y = 4x-33, then
y = 4(44451)-33
y = 177771 yards

Answer:
Equality.
Explanation:
The principle of equality represents the symbol of democracy as it indicates fair treatment for citizens. It is essential within constitutional principles, but complex and for its complete understanding it is necessary to understand the cultural and historical context in which it was created. This principle has long been a part of ancient civilizations. Throughout history, it has often been disrespected, assuming a misconception, for friction with the interests of the ruling classes.
This principle states that it is unfair to treat people in different ways, which deny some of them significant social benefits, unless we can show that there is a difference between them that is relevant to differential treatment.
