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 In reality, the boycotts had more effect than the petitions, and the law was finally repealed on March 18, 1766.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

Which factor played in the United state enjoying economic prosperity during the roaring '20s
ANEK [815]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The factor that played in the United state enjoying economic prosperity during the roaring '20s was that the country did not incur in big amounts of debt during World War 1, as Europeans countries did. Indeed, the United States loaned big sums of money to Western European countries to support the war effort. That is why the United States could live a period of economic prospeity  in those years called "the Roaring 1920s," a period in which people had money or could buy using credit all the things they needed or they liked.

What was the main message of The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The economy runs better without governmental involvement.

Explanation:

In the Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith lays out a very robust theory about how the economy works, this is why many economists consider him to be the Father of the economic science.

Adam Smith's main thesis was that people, acting own their own interest, were guided by the invisible hand, leading to positive results that benefited the whole of society, even if that was not the main goal of economic actors in first place (their main goal being furthering their own interests).

For this reason, Smith thought that most government intervention was unecessary, since according to him, economic actors tended to self regulate in the market, and to produce an optimal result for society. He did justify some government intervention though: in the military, in the judicial system, and in some basic social services in order to care for the poor, the elderly, and the sick.
