The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first internal tax levied directly on American colonists by the British government. The act, which imposed a tax on all paper documents in the colonies, came at a time when the British Empire was deep in debt from the Seven Years’ War (1756-63) and looking to its North American colonies as a revenue source. Arguing that only their own representative assemblies could tax them, the colonists insisted that the act was unconstitutional, and they resorted to mob violence to intimidate stamp collectors into resigning. Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766, but issued a Declaratory Act at the same time to reaffirm its authority to pass any colonial legislation it saw fit. The issues of taxation and representation raised by the Stamp Act strained relations with the colonies to the point that, 10 years later, the colonists rose in armed rebellion against the British. <span> </span> <span> </span>

John Locke viewed the Social Contract as a choice or "consent of the governed", where the people possess the power to change gov
vovikov84 [41]

<em>The correct answer is</em> <em>Man is born selfish, but can give up some freedom in return for security provided by the government</em>.

Thomas Hobbes viewed the Social Contract as a way used by a group of people use to guarantied their own security by giving power to a government whose goal is to protect the citizens who gave them that power. If the government fail, the failure is accounted to the citizens who choose that government.

According to Hobbes' theory, all people are born with the right to do what they want, but when they are limited by the right of others to do what they want, they arrive at a conflict situation that usually results in violence.

It is for this reason that the social organization that establishes the limits of individual freedom and through the Contract arises, to establish the rules that allow to solve each situation and above all to hand over the mandate power to a government that is in charge of guaranteeing the proper functioning of this new social organization.

. Millions of Germans were imprisoned and killed because they didn’t fit the image of the ‘perfect’ German

Hitler wanted to create what he thought was the “best” and strongest race – and to the Nazi Party, this excluded certain groups, such as Jews, Gypsies and those with physical and mental disabilities. In an attempt to eliminate a “racial enemy” outside of Germany, such groups were also persecuted in the countries invaded by German forces.



. The group most heavily targeted by the Nazis were the Jews

Around six million Jewish people were killed during World War 2 in one of history’s most terrible events – the Holocaust. Racist in his views, Hitler blamed Jewish people for Germany losing World War I and claimed they were dangerous to German people and society.

. Around the same time that Germany fought for power in Europe, Japan wanted to control Asia and the Pacific

In 1937 (before World War 2 had officially begun) under Emperor Hirohito, Japan attacked China, bringing the two nations into years of conflict.



. The US didn’t join the war until 1941, when Japan attacked the United States

– at their Naval Base at Pearl Harborin Hawaii. On 8 December 1941(the very next day), the US declared War on Japan and, in turn, its German allies.

 

. Some countries remained ‘neutral’ in World War 2

Such countries were Spain, Sweden and Switzerland – who chose not to join either side.



. The Germans surrendered on 8 May 1945

In 1944, an Allied army crossed from Britain to free France from Nazi rule. One year later, Allied armies invaded Germany, forcing the Germans to surrender. After nuclear attacks on Japan’s major cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan also surrendered to Allied forces in August the same year. World War 2 had
