Why did merchants in the American colonies began smuggling goods

1 answer:

8 0

The merchants in the American colonies began smuggling goods because the Navigation Act passed by Britain put an embargo, or pause on imports and severely restricted trade. The British goods were highly taxed, and the colonists were frustrated because Britain didn't give them representation in Parliament even though they were being taxed. Hope this helps! :)

How was Raphael influenced by Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, and what set him apart from them and others from their time?

Aleks [24]

Because of Raphael's fascination to Michael Angelo's and Leonardo Da Vinci's works, Raphael seems to create some sort a fusion between Michael Angelo's and Leonardo Da Vinci's style into his.
In all of Raphael's work, we can always find the communicative and expressive measures from Leonardo, and dynamic-cultural quality sculpture from Angelo.
