History

Step2247 [10]2 years ago
4 0
The colonists were upset because this was the first time Britain had really bothered them. Up until that point, Britain had left the colonies alone, but when the Stamp Act was put in place the colonists realized that Britain thought they were above the colonies. Colonists didn't like that Britain was forcing them to pay, either. The Stamp Act put a tax on all printed things. Colonists were also angry because they weren't represented in Parliament (British Government) and one of their beliefs was in representation.

“Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” assess the extent to which this idea affected the creation of the US go
Paraphin [41]
The Founding Fathers created the U.S. government to have numerous checks and balances as well as a VERY limited central (federal) government. They did this to prevent a relapse of the tyranny (hence “absolute power”) they dealt with under the British Empire. The American colonies were essentially meant to serve the mother nation (Britain), but the colonists braved the journey to America to establish a new, freer nation with religious freedom as its top priority.
To prove this quote is still relevant today, it’s not unknown that when humans acquire power, it’s very easy for them to abuse that power. Examples of this would be the oligarchies we see in Russia and China with a very small amount of people in power living in a lap of luxury while everyone else lives a subpar life.
