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.

Hence, the correct answer is Eleven (11) states

Which of the following three court cases affected marriage and family planning?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Obergefell v. Hodges

Loving v. Virginia

Roe v. Wade

Explanation:

Obergefell v. Hodges & Loving v. Virginia were Supreme Court cases that had to do with marriage. <u><em>Obergefell v. Hodges</em></u> was the most recent case in 2015, ruling that same-sex couples have the constitutional right to marry. <u><em>Loving v. Virginia</em></u> (1967) was a case that outlawed the segregation-era ban on interracial marriage. Both cases ruled that the protections were guaranteed under the Equal Protection & Due Process Clauses in the 14th Amendment.

Roe v. Wade (1973) is a more disputed case, but the original ruling guaranteed a woman's right to abort her baby. The Due Process Clause regarding privacy was again argued here.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

the status of the Philippines and Cuba

Explanation:

The Treaty of Paris ended the Spanish-American War that saw the United States claim the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico as part of their territory. Also Cuba became independent of its colonizers(spain) which was mostly one of the reasons for the war as America fought to free them from the rule of Spain. Spain was also compensated $20 million dollars in losses suffered. However shortly after United States take over of the Philippines, there was a resistance from Filipinos stemming from the critic of United States' hypocritical stance in seizing a territory for itself while after critizing Spain and other European powers for colonization. The resulting war saw over 4000 American casualties.
