Were the American colonists justified in waging war and breaking away from Britain?

History

juin [17]3 years ago

The American colonists were justified in doing this simply because their colonies had become too big and too important to be treated as a colony by the British. The British should have given the colonies some autonomy, but they did not. The analogy I like to use is that of teens and their parents. Parents have to give teens more independence as they grow up. If they do not, the teens may justifiably rebel.

The British were not, on the whole, brutal or oppressive towards the colonists. However, they would not let the colonists have much in the way of self-rule. This had been fine when the colonies were still small and economically weak. By the 1760s and 1770s, however, the colonies were "teenagers." They were big and strong enough to expect some autonomy. When Britain reacted to requests for autonomy by being more strict, the colonists were justified in rebelling.

Women and girls were not thought of back then for having the same rights as men. Men were seen as powerful and superior rather than women who were seen as nonsuperior. They didn’t want women to have the same amount of power that men had.

Which law did congress pass to prevent abuses arising from business arrangements
Goryan [66]
Unless there are specific choices I can only offer you a list of potential answers.

Sherman Act (1890), Federal Trade Commission Act (1914), and the Clayton Act (1914).

The Sherman Act outlawed all forms of monopolization and any attempts to do so. It also set strict penalties for any and all violations of this law.

The Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 created the Federal Trade Commission which oversaw national business practices. 

The Clayton Act addresses more specific points but especially focuses on preventing monopolies through regulation of mergers and acquisitions. It also goes on to prevent discriminatory pricing and dealings.
