The Whiskey Rebellion (also known as the Whiskey Insurrection) was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791 and ending in 1794 during the presidency of George Washington, ultimately under the command of American Revolutionary war veteran Major James McFarlane. The so-called "whiskey tax" was the first tax imposed on a domestic product by the newly formed federal government. It became law in 1791, and was intended to generate revenue for the war debt incurred during the Revolutionary War. The tax applied to all distilled spirits, but American whiskey was by far the country's most popular distilled beverage in the 18th century, so the excise became widely known as a "whiskey tax". Farmers of the western frontier were accustomed to distilling their surplus rye, barley, wheat, corn, or fermented grain mixtures into whiskey. These farmers resisted the tax. In these regions, whiskey often served as a medium of exchange. Many of the resisters were war veterans who believed that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution, in particular against taxation without local representation, while the federal government maintained that the taxes were the legal expression of Congressional taxation powers.!!

Answer:

The correct answer is B) Rome

Explanation:

In addition to Judeo-Christian Principles and Ancient Greek Philosophy, the American Founding father took inspiration from the Ancient Romans who formed the first Republic in history.

Most agree that the Roman Republic was formed around 509 BC after the end of the Roman Empire. However, the Republic was not a democracy. Practically, it was more of an oligarchy where a small number of families had voting rights.

However, it was one of the first times when the power of a 'King' or an 'Emperor' was restricted. This idea of a ruler not having unlimited power was very crucial to the American founding fathers.
