Answer:

A higher income pays a higher percentage in taxes.

Explanation:

Progressive tax is a tax that increases according to the income of the tax payers, lower-income individuals pay a less percentage of taxes, and those with higher incomes pay a bigger percentage. This type of taxation is used to reduce the burden of taxes on those who struggle more to pay them. Thee United States federal income tax is an example of progressive tax, and the percentages go from 10 percent for lower income individuals to 37 percent for highest income individuals.

what are the chief steps leading to the definition of history given in the paragraph beginning “This line of reasoning...” Why n
MAVERICK [17]

A definition of history in a dictionary would say something along the lines of:

History:

1. The branch of knowledge dealing with past events.

2. A continuous, systematic telling of past events.

<em>(Wordreference) </em>

If, when defining history, we were to only look up a definition in a dictionary, we would have a simplistic view of what this branch of study does. History is definitely concerned with telling past events. However, this information is often incomplete, contradictory, too abundant, too unclear or inexistent. Even when information is readily available, the source of information can never be perfect because of problems that are inherent in recording events, such as perspective, or bias.

The task of historians, then, is to try to be as precise as possible without adding information they cannot be sure about. They also have to draw their own conclusions when there is not enough definite evidence. This is what the paragraph refers to as an argument, because of the interplay of evidence and conclusion.

Therefore, because of all the inherent problems in interpretation, the thing that historians can control the most is the method, or the “way of reading and writing about events of the past.” If, during interpretation, historians make use of a systematic, professional set of rules to interpret, they can be more confident in their conclusions. This set of rules is what people have to master if they desire to become historians.

How did the Haitian revolution affect the United States
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Having lost his control of the Caribbean landholding, Napoleon saw no further use for Louisiana. The US was only interested in the New Orleans area; however, the revolution enabled the sale of the entire territory west of the Mississippi River for around $15 million. This purchase more than doubled US territory.
