History

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.!!

Vice President Tyler assumed the presidency after the death of President William Henry Harrison using the __________ powers clau
ziro4ka [17]

Answer

Vice President Tyler assumed the presidency after the death of President William Henry Harrison using the implied powers clause of the Constitution, though later the 25th Amendment would state that in the “case of the removal of the president from office or of his death or resignation, the vice president shall become president.”

In the presidential election of 1840, the Whig Party elected Tyler as vice president along with the candidacy of William Henry Harrison. John Tyler took the position of president, after the sudden death of Harrison. This makes him the tenth President of the United States, from 1841 to 1845.
