Answer:

A: Taxes

Explanation:

Britain needed money to pay for its war debts. The

King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the

colonies. They decided to require several kinds of taxes from the

colonists to help pay for the French and Indian War. These taxes

included the Stamp Act, passed in 1765, which required the use

of special paper bearing an embossed tax stamp for all legal

documents. Other laws, such as the Townsend Acts, passed in 1767, required

the colonists to pay taxes on imported goods like

tea. Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes,

because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their

own colonial governments. They protested, saying that these

taxes violated their rights as British citizens.

The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying,

British goods.

How did the renaissance and the reformation influence the rise of democracy in Europe

suter [353]

The Renaissance was the cultural, political, scientific and intellectual explosion in Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries – represents perhaps the most profoundly important period in human development since the fall of Ancient Rome.

From its origins in 14th-century Florence, the Renaissance spread across Europe – the fluidity of its ideas changing and evolving to match local cultural thinking and conditions, although always remaining true to its ideals.

If the Renaissance was about rediscovering the intellectual ambition of the Classical civilizations, it was also about pushing the boundaries of what we know – and what we could achieve.

On the other hand the reformation was a parallel movement that developed in northern Europe during the Renaissance, combining classical learning, and individualism with the goal or reforming the Catholic Church.

The Christian Democratic parties in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands originated from decisions of nineteenth century political actors, namely, the Church and conservative political elites. Though these actors may not have initially intended to create confessional parties, they "set the process in motion" by creating a new political consciousness or identity amongst lay Catholics. Fueling the long-term political separation of Catholics from non-Catholics and of conservative Catholics from more liberal-leaning ones, this unique political identity has become mobilized and institutionalized in Christian Democratic parties. This is the source of the parties' longevity, even in the secular context of modern European politics
