Hi! :)
Based on this excerpt, what do you think Otis's purpose was in writing this document?
D. To persuade!
As it states here: "I say men, for in a state of nature no man can take my property from me without my consent: if he does, he deprives me of my liberty and makes me a slave." Otis is trying to persuade the reader that he'd rather be made a slave than lose his home without his consent!

Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation, ratified by the Second Continental Congress in 1777, gave the central government very limited powers that in the end proved ineffective.
Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government could not collect taxes or raise an standing army. In a time when Britain was still a threat to the American independence, this was inconvenient.
This is the reason why the founding fathers decided to meet again and draft a new constitution that adopts a federal system with a central government that can collect taxes and keep an standing army. It is the current U.S. Constitution.

Answer:What are the effects of mining on the miners?
Coal dust inhalation causes black lung disease among miners and those who live nearby, and mine accidents kill thousands every year. Coal mining displaces whole communities, forced off their land by expanding mines, coal fires, subsidence and contaminated water supplies.
Explanation:
In addition to physical landscape damage, mining operations create sediment containing heavy metals which settle into surrounding soil, or are carried by wind or water to contaminate rivers or other land areas. These metals aren't biodegradable so the soil stays contaminated without corrective action.
