In the Declaration of Independence, the American colonists complained about the British government putting taxes on them without their voice being heard. Hence the phrase "no taxation without representation." This referred to the fact that the colonists had no one to represent them in the British parliament.

In today's US government, citizens have the chance to influence the laws created in the country. Citizens do this by voting for members of Congress. Congress is made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives. These elected officials help to create nation laws/taxes. These officials are also supposed to represent the people who they serve. So, if Americans are not happy with any new tax laws/reforms, they can write, call, or meet their representative in order to express their concerns. The elected Congress person will take this into consideration when voting.

For all practical purposes, only _____ were able to hold public office, since these positions did not pay a salary.
Vlad1618 [11]

The correct answer is wealthy or rich.

In America during the Articles of Confederation, many public officials did not get paid. This is because the federal government lacked the ability to collect taxes from states. Without any new sources of revenue, the individuals running for public office had to be people who were willing to work without a guaranteed salary. Only the most wealthy citizens were able to do this, as a majority of Americans would not survive without some sort of compensation.

What kind of a war did we have with the soviet union?
stiks02 [169]
We had the Cold War. It was called the Cold War because no military force was used in the war. It was mainly a technology race to try and scare the other country and come out superior. Espionage was also used in the war, but there was no man on man combat, and war with atomic/nuclear weapons was not conducted. I hope that answered your question, my friend.
