Answer:

In 1911, the House of Representatives approved the Joint Resolution of Assembly 39 (House Joint Resolution 39), proposing a constitutional amendment for the direct election of the senators. However, it included a race provision (Race Rider) created to block federal intervention in cases of racial discrimination among voters. A substitute amendment created by Senator Joseph L. Bristow (R-KS) eliminated that race provision. The amendment, Joint Resolution, was adopted by the Senate, in a close vote on May 1911. More than a year later, the House accepted this change, and the amendment was sent to the states for ratification. On April 8, 1913, three-quarters of the states had ratified the proposed amendment, and it was officially included as the 17th amendment.

Government related: you attend school. Schools are monitored and supervised by the government. Your learning is also studied in various ways by the government.

Economy related: One of the most obvious ways in which government and the economy interact in your daily life is through taxes. Even if you do not work, when you buy anything at a store, you are most likely paying taxes on those items.

Was the British parliament justified in placing new taxes on the colonists after the French and Indian war?
butalik [34]
No because after the wars, King George 111 was left in a huge debt. So he taxed the colonists without their consent (opinion)on it. He created high taxes and acts ( such as the Iron act) to help pay HIS debt. IT wasn't fair because the people risked their life during war and now they have to pay the high taxes the king issued!!

Why is the Declaration of Independence called the world's biggest break up letter?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer & Explanation:

Essentially, the United States said, "See ya later. You treated me like I was nothing to you, you took advantage of me and only wanted my money!"

Then Britain was something along the lines of, "Hah! You think I care?!"

Then the United States had had enough of the mercantilism and the enrichment of the mother country and all the taxation without representation and made the "break up letter."
