Thomas Jefferson is the one most responsible for writing the Declaration of Independence.
- The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
- The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
- The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
- The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
- The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
- The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
- The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.
There were more items listed by Jefferson, but you get the idea. He was justifying revolution by proving tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy.
Answer:
Throughout Second World War, the US supported the government of Nationalist leader, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. It kept that support after the restart of the civil war following the Japanese surrender in 1945. Washington kept its backing up to the last months of the life of Chiang´s regime in China. Chiang was a Christian (Time magazine called him "the Christian Warrior of China" and a staunch anti-Communist, great merits to the American eyes. Advantages? American policy makers saw him as an ally that was the best option for American interests in China and Asia, and he was a sure asset in the fight against communism. Disadvantages? That vision did not take into account the real balance of forces and circumstances in China, because the Communists were a powerful player not only in the war but in domestic politics; they enjoyed Soviet support. In 1949, Chiang and the remnants of his army had to run to the shelter of Taiwan. The US policy failed and there was a witch-hunt to find "who lost China" in diplomatic circles. Was there a possibility of a significant rapprochement with the Communists of Mao Zedong? There is no clear answer, but the perspectives of such outcome were rather grim at that time.

The Habeas Corpus Act was a very important as well as a very significant Act during the 1679. It is also called as the Act of Parliament. This Act became very powerful because it highlighted all the necessary things that were to be followed during the detention of a prisoner.

Answer:
The United States Populist Party was active in the last decade of the 19th century and the first of the 20th.
Factors:
Factor 1: There was a polarization within the party when two trends are clearly expressed: the "fusionists” , who wanted to ally themselves with the Democratic Party, and the "mid roaders" who wanted the Populist Party to be a third independent party.
Factor 2: The party weakened a lot when the Democratic Party candidate William Jennings Bryan was not elected, with which the Populist Party had allied, for the US presidential elections of 1896. Jennings Bryan did not get people from urban areas or industrialists vote for him. He obtained 47% of the popular votes thanks to the rural areas of the South and the West. This fact and the defeat of Bryan buried the dream of forming a third populist party that brings together farmers and workers.
I consider that the determining factor was the alliance with the Democratic Party since it did not integrate the feeling of the people who wanted to group under a populist ideology since these militants did not find coherence in merging with a party that accepted and promoted visions that favored the interests of the elites and powerful merchants and industrialists.
