<u>Here are your matches:</u>

John Locke = philosopher  

Boston Tea Party = British reacted with Intolerable Acts  

Sugar and Molasses Act = tax reduced after boycotts  

Navigation Acts = required colonies to trade only with England  

Saratoga = turning point of the Revolution

Quartering Act = required colonists to house troops

George Rogers Clark = captured western British forts

Proclamation of 1763 = forbade settlement beyond Alleghenies

Iroquois = British allies in the Revolution  

French and Indian War =  British obtained Canada  


Permit me to say a bit more about John Locke, the philosopher -- as important background to the American Revolution.

The American founding fathers read Locke (as well as other Enlightenment writers).  The American Revolution (1775-1783) was inspired by ideas such as those of Locke.  John Locke (1632-1704) argued for the idea of a "social contract."  According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his<em> First Treatise on Civil Government.</em>  In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government, </em>Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Justinian is generally thought to be one of the most important rulers of the Eastern Roman Empire. His most significant achievement is considered to be the collection of Roman laws, the Corpus Juris Civilis, which was an important body of law for the Eastern Roman Empire for centuries and laid the foundation for the legislation of several other European countries.

During Justinian's reign, Byzantium recaptured lost territories in Africa and Italy. He also significantly reformed administration and legislation. Justinian began a major building program, the most famous achievement of which was the Church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople.

Define Seditious Speech and give an example
GarryVolchara [31]
Any speech that is made with the intention of inciting a violent and unlawful uprising against the administration is called a seditious speech. Such utterances may call for a rebellion against government institutions or its military, thus jeopardizing the internal security of the country.During World War I, Charles Schenck, the leader of the American Socialist Party, attempted to dissuade freshly-drafted soldiers in the US army from serving, by distributing thousands of pamphlets that claimed only the 'ruling classes' would benefit from their sacrifices. While Schenck was charged by the government in 1919, for violating the Espionage Act, which forbade interference in military recruitment, he appealed to the Supreme Court, saying that his right to free speech granted by the First Amendment, was being denied. Finally, the Court ruled in favor of the government, stating that the right to free speech was not limitless, and Schenck's actions had the potential to cause 'clear and present danger' to the administration, which Congress had the right to prevent.
