History

Answer:

The main purpose of the Sugar Act of 1764 was to raise taxes on sugar.

Explanation:

The Sugar Act was sanctioned on April 5, 1764 by the English Parliament. This law replaced the Molasses Act by halving the taxes levied on molasses, but by imposing new additional taxes on sugar, and aimed at an end to smuggling and to protect English farmers based in the West Indies and for the government to win more money on sugar, which was indispensable at this time. It taxed the sugar that entered the United States of America and was not bought from the English Antilles.

The aim of the sugar law was to encourage settlers to consume only sugar directly from the English. It raised the taxes that settlers had to pay on molasses, wine, coffee, silk, white clothes, luxury goods, and linen in their ports.

Why might Caesar’s assassins have been unhappy with the long-term results of their actions?
julia-pushkina [17]

Caesar was named "dictator for life" by the Roman Senate. Some of the senators, such as Gaius Cassius Longinus, Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, and Marcus Junius Brutus, feared that he would take the Senate power and become king or emperor, so they decided to kill him. They expected the Roman people to support them, which didn't happen.

After Caesar’s death, Augustus expanded the powers of Rome’s leader, for example by deifing him.
