The stamp Act congress said it was okay for colonial legislatures to tax the colonist but not parliament because the colonists didn’t have representation in the parliament.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

The parliament of Great Britain imposed Stamp tax on the British colonies in North America in order to bring the colonies under its direct tax system.

This act instructed that all the printed material in the colonies have to use stamped London made stamped paper. Printed materials like magazines, newspapers, documents, playing cards etc had to bear revenue stamp.  

The colonists found this act unfair. The tax was imposed by the British parliament where the colonists had no representation. They thought that only the colonial legislature had the right to make laws for the colonies.

Answer:

The Oslo Accords happened most recently, in 1993.

Explanation:

The Oslo Agreements are a collection of agreements between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Israeli Government. The Oslo I Accord was signed in Washington, D.C. in 1993 and the Oslo II Treaty in Taba, Egypt in 1995. These agreements were the start of the process known as the 'Oslo Process' which was an attempt to reach peace and to give Palestinians the right to self-determination. The secret negotiations between the two sides, which gave the name to the accords, began in Oslo, the capital of Norway. The outcome of this negotiation was recognition of the State of Israel by the PLO and recognition of the PLO by the State of Israel. Both parties were considered partners during the negotiations.

The Oslo Negotiations gave way to the Palestinian National Authority, which is responsible for the autonomy of parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The accords, however, did not create the State of Palestine.

what government inspectors investigated the claims made by Upton Sinclair in The Jungle, they found that
Tpy6a [65]
Upton Sinclair's novel, The Jungle, was written to show the world how cruelly and harshly immigrants in industrialized cities were treated in the early twentieth century. At first, the claims that Sinclair made in his novel were thought to be outlandish and over exaggerated. However, when government officials actually looked into the claims, they found that conditions were even worse than what Sinclair had said. Hope this helps.
