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 In reality, the boycotts had more effect than the petitions, and the law was finally repealed on March 18, 1766.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.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Susan B. Anthony was never married, and devoted her life to the cause of women's equality. She once said she wished “to live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women.” When she died on March 13, 1906 at the age of 86 from heart failure and pneumonia, women still did not have the right to vote. (February 15, 1820  March 13, 1906) was an American social reformer and. The women's movement was loosely structured at that time, with few state organizations and no national organization other  The funding Train had arranged for the newspaper, however, was less than Anthony had expected. Anthony founded the National Women's Suffrage Association in 1869 with fellow women's suffrage activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She drafted the first version of the 19th Amendment in 1878. Just before she retired in 1900, Anthony was asked if women would be given the right to vote in her lifetime. Hope That Helps!

Why did the Zhou dynasty collapsed?
NNADVOKAT [17]
Hello friend...

The Zhou dynasty was pretty much non existent after the sacking of the capital by Quanrong in 771 BC since after that Zhou dynasty could no longer exert its power on its vassal states anymore. The vassal states now instead of listening to Zhou king they would listen to a Duke from a major state like Duke Huan of Qi (reign, 685 -643 BC), Duke Wen of Jin (reign, 636–628 BC), King Zhuang of Chu (reign, 613–591 BC), Duke Mu of Qin (reign, 659–621 BC). Some states outright countered the power of Zhou like Duke Zhuang of Zheng (743–701 BC) who even attacked Zhou. In Spring and Autumn period (770–475 BC) those Dukes still borrowed the name of Zhou king for their own advantage, so sometimes they paid tribute to Zhou king to borrow his approval. That was just to be nice, if Zhou king disapproved then the one who lost more was Zhou king himself since he would no longer receive any things from that major state and all other states allied to that major state. From Warring States period (475–221 BC), no one cared about what Zhou king had to say anymore and no one bothered to get his approval anymore. They just freely fought each other, conquered each other and deemed Zhou king as just lord of a minor state that they can take over anytime they wanted. Eventually, the little land of Zhou was conquered by Qin in 2 occasions: 256 BC and 249 BC.

Hence, officially, Zhou ended in 249 BC by the invasions from Qin. However, its power as a proper dynasty would have ended long before in the year of 771 BC.

And why the Zhou was attacked and lost its power in 771 BC ? That was largely due to the poor governing and poor credibility of King You of Zhou (reign 782–771 BC). He was a bad King, just like King Zhou of Shang, only into wines and girls without giving any thought on governing. In order to buy a laughter from the girl he loved, he ignited the big flames in the mountains which were used very exclusively for the cases of a serious emergency. Soldiers from vassal states were supposed to march toward the Zhou capital whenever they saw those flames, believing that the Zhou king was in danger. Thus, when they saw the king and his lover ridiculed them coming for nothing, they thought they were humilated by the king, and the king who played on the fate of his country didn’t deserve his post. Since then, the confidence that vassal states had on the king was all gone. And when Qianrung attacked the Zhou capital, no one came rescue when the flames were lit again. The king was killed in the attack, and Zhou lost its power since then. So I think the fall of Zhou was mainly due to King You of Zhou himself (due to his incompetence and moral depravity) since before him his father King Xuan of Zhou (827- 782) was a capable ruler, who brought back the stability and prosperity of Zhou.

And the further reason might be due to its problematic way of governing when at the foundation, Zhou rulers gave so much autonomy for their vassal states. Thus, when the central government became weakened and at the same time vassal states got stronger, inevitably Zhou central government can no longer hold its vassal states together. Later dynasty, Qin, Han got the lessons from Zhou and chose to build a centralized government with emperor having absolute power over any governing branches and any jurisdiction.

Hope this helps you...
