Superfluous causes under Newton's philosophy are originated when trying to explain more than there is to be explained.

Under<em> Newton's Rules of Reasoning on Philosophy</em>, his first rule states that:

  • <u>"We are to admit </u><u>no more causes of natural things</u><u> than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances."</u>

This rule eliminates unnecessary information about a theory, <em>(unnecessary aspects are the same as superfluous causes), </em>there is no need to make something more complicated than it is, the simpler the better, and when more information is added more information will be in vain, since "nature is pleased with simplicity".

Explain how the conclusion of the French and Indian War affected Britain, the colonists, and American Indians in the region.
DIA [1.3K]
At the end of the F & I War, Britain gained control of the Ohio River Valley. Colonists thought that this would allow them to more easily move west. However, the British government had decided to leave all lands West of the Appalachian Mts (according to the Proclamation of 1763) be given to the Indians. This would keep peace in the area and avoid another war between colonists and Indians. The colonists were very angry about this decision. They had fought and died for the land and now were being forced out.
