Answer:

The correct answer is C. The Stamp Act Congress met in 1765 to discuss how to respond to the new taxes.

Explanation:

The Stamp Act Congress was a meeting held on October 19, 1765, in New York City, to discuss the newly created Stamp Act, whose passing in the British Parliament did not include representatives of the American colonies.

At the instigation of James Otis, Massachusetts demanded the holding of an intercolonial general assembly. Nine out of 13 colonies sent 27 representatives to the Stamp Act Congress held at the Federal Hall in New York from 7 to 25 October 1765. The delegates adopted John Dickinson's Declaration of Rights and Grievances and sent letters and petitions to the King and the Parliament. The emphasis was on the repeal of the Stamp Act, but also on the fact that settlers were not allowed to participate in the election of deputies in London. Only colonial assemblies had the right to levy new taxes in America. They also criticized the use of Admiralty Courts to enforce the Stamp Act and punish offenders. In reality, the boycotts had more effect than the petitions, and the law was finally repealed on March 18, 1766. But the question of the political representation of the Americans was not settled. And Parliament's determination to charge taxes to the settlers remained intact, announcing the American Revolution.

What kind of experience for becoming sultan did suleyman have
kykrilka [37]

Suleiman ruled from 1520-1560. In his time was regarded as the most significant ruler in the world, by both Muslims and Europeans. His military empire expanded greatly both to the east and west, and he threatened to overrun the heart of Europe itself. In Constantinople, he embarked on vast cultural and architectural projects. Istanbul in the middle of the sixteenth century was architecturally the most energetic and innovative city in the world. While he was a brilliant military strategist and canny politician, he was also a cultivator of the arts. Suleiman's poetry is among the best poetry in Islam, and he sponsored an army of artists, religious thinkers, and philosophers that outshone the most educated courts of Europe.


Suleiman is remembered for his complete reconstruction of the Ottoman legal system. Suleiman became a prominent monarch of 16th century Europe, presiding over the apex of the Ottoman Empire's military, political and economic power. Suleiman personally led Ottoman armies to conquer the Christian strongholds of Belgrade, Rhodes, and most of Hungary before his conquests were checked at the Siege of Vienna in 1529. He annexed most of the Middle East in his conflict with the Safavids and large swathes of North Africa as far west as Algeria. Under his rule, the Ottoman fleet dominated the seas from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.


At the helm of an expanding empire, Suleiman personally instituted legislative changes relating to society, education, taxation, and criminal law. His canonical law (or the Kanuns) fixed the form of the empire for centuries after his death. Not only was Suleiman a distinguished poet and goldsmith in his own right; he also became a great patron of culture, overseeing the golden age of the Ottoman Empire's artistic, literary and architectural development. He spoke five languages: Ottoman Turkish, Arabic, Chagatai (a dialect of Turkic languages and related to Uyghur), Persian and Serbian.

zzz [600]
