What are some grievances that the colonists express in the declaration of independence

History
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
6 0

In the <em>Declaration of Independence</em>, Thomas Jefferson expressed various grievances of the colonists against the British, such as:

  • The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
  • The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
  • The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
  • The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
  • The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
  • The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.

There were more items listed by Jefferson, but you get the idea.  He was justifying revolution by proving tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy.

What impeded the effectiveness of the Fourteenth Amendment in providing equal protection and citizenship rights?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The 14th Amendment was issued around the <em>Reconstruction period</em>, basically to provide equal rights to slave descendants after the Civil War, granting  <em>citizenship to all people</em> born or naturalized in the country, and it has become kind of the main provision in the USA Constitution to enforce Civil Rights and prevent violations; but it was only until the <em>Civil Rights Era</em> around the 1950s and 1960s that really became effective; affairs such as <em>"Jim Crow laws"</em>, <em>white supremacy</em> organizations, multiple segregation policies, voter suppression mechanisms such as <em>"The white primries"</em>, poll taxes and some others like <em>literacy tests</em> vastly impeded the effectiveness of the Amandment for a long time.

What was the biggesy questions in the french revolution?
Nadusha1986 [10]
The French Revolution was caused mainly due to the type of society that ruled over this government. The aristocrats and bourgeoisie enjoyed the most of the economy and they did not want the ruling of the king to be destroyed and democracy placed for elections. The monarchy played an important part of this government and the people in the provinces elected representatives to speak on their behalf. They were divided into three social levels and someone needed to rule they didn't know which one. (Clergy, nobles and the people)

madreJ [45]
I think that the best way to complete this analogy is option a.<span>non-fiction : fiction. There is nothing in the original pair to make an analogy to the other ones, and in both pairs you could say that the first part describes a real story and the other a fictional, not a real story. </span>

The overall goal of New Deal legislation such as the CCC, WPA, and TVA was to create: A Increase for taxes B Jobs for Americans
Anton [14]

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men. Originally for young men ages 18–25, it was eventually expanded to ages 17–28.

The Works Progress Administration (WPA), which was renamed in 1939, as The Works Projects Administration was the largest and most ambitious American New Deal agency, employing millions of people (mostly unskilled men) to carry out public works projects, including the construction of public buildings and roads.

The Tennessee Valley Authority  (TVA) was envisioned not only as a provider, but also as a regional economic development agency that would use federal experts and electricity to more quickly modernize the region's economy and society.

The correct answer to this question is letter B, since the overall goal of New Deal legislation such as the CCC, WPA and TVA was to create jobs for Americans.
