Why do you think the colonists believed that these laws were intolerable

1 answer:

3 0

<span>The series of 4 acts (plus the Quebec Act), which are infamously known as the Intolerable Acts, or Coercive Acts, were passed by the British Parliament in 1774 and 1775, as the response to the Boston Tea party event, in which the colonists threw a large shipment of tea into Boston harbor. The acts were: the Massachusetts Government Act, the Administration of Justice Act, the Boston Port Act, and the Quartering Act of 1774. The reason why these acts were perceived as intolerable was because they took away Massachusetts' self-governing and historic rights, which caused the outrage in the colonies. The acts were one of the main triggers of the American Revolution in 1775. They were perceived as a violation of colonists' constitutional rights, their natural rights, and their colonial charters. The citizens of Boston saw the acts as unnecesary and cruel punishment, and in the rest of British America, they were seen as a threat to the liberties of the Thirteen Colonies. It is for this reason that colonists in other colonies decided to support Massachusetts in case of an attack, which resulted in the American Revolution, and the independence of the United States of America.</span>

sveta [45]

Answer:

No they are not mutually exclusive

Explanation:

We have given that 35 % of the students have brown eyes

So $n(A)=35$ %

And 45 % of the student has brown hair

So $n(B)=45$ %

It is also given that 60 % of the student have both brown eyes and brown hair

So $n(A\cup B)=60$ %

From set rule we know that

$n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)$

So $60=45+35-n(A\cap B)$

$n(A\cap B)=20$

So A and B will not be mutually exclusive because for A and B to be mutually exclusive $n(A\cap B)$ must be zero

In the context of the United States Civil War, the March to the Sea, or the Savannah Campaign, was the federal foray into late 1864 across Georgia.

The march began with Sherman's force leaving the city of Atlanta on November 15 and ending with the capture of Savannah Harbor on December 21. The campaign, often referred to as the first under the modern concept of total war, has done extensive damage to the Confederate economic infrastructure and fighting morale.
