<span>The Royal Society. The full name of the group when it originated was "The President, Council and Fellows of the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge." The group of science-minded men began their organization in 1660 and sought and received a charter of incorporation from King Charles II in 1662. Some of the key people in getting the group started were Christopher Wren and Robert Boyle. While the Royal Society had official endorsement from the king and to this day continues to have the blessing of the British government, it was and is an voluntary organization, not a government agency. During the Scientific Revolution, the Royal Society served as a clearinghouse of knowledge and a network to connect those pursuing scientific discovery. A great book that shows the role the Royal Society played in the Scientific Revolution is: Ingenious Pursuits: Building the Scientific Revolution, by Lisa Jardine (1999).</span>

17. Why was the Tea Act created? How did the colonists react to it
olchik [2.2K]
The tea act was created because the East India Company's tea wasn't being bought and was losing money. The East India Company made England money so England took the tax on tea off from theirs while other merchants who sold tea still had to pay tax. This allowed the East India Company to sell their tea for less and got more people to but their tea. This angered Patriots because they still had no say in government and everyone else still had to pay the tax for tea which made less people buy the regular tea because it would cost more.

Which improvement for farmers was a direct result of the REA
leva [86]

The access to power was the direct result of the REA for farmers.

REA is the Rural Electrification Act (1936).  

The REA was part of a program from President Frankling Delano Roosevelt designed to overcome the effects of the Depression years.

In 1935 only ten percent of isolated rural areas had electrical power.

The REA law granted long-term funding for farmers in the form of loans which were allowed to be given for states and territories to implant, improve and maintain rural electrification in the United States.
