History

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 Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766, but issued a Declaratory Act at the same time to reaffirm its authority to pass any colonial legislation it saw fit.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>

What are the multiple constitutional documents that came from the multiple revolutions ​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

It's almost impossible to imagine the United States (U.S.) Constitution without having a Bill of Rights, but when it was first being drafted, a majority of the Founding Fathers didn't think it was necessary.

However, there were a few men who believed it was so significant that they refused to sign the Constitution because it didn't have one. Three famous refusers were George Mason of Virginia, Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, and Edmund Randolph of Virginia.

As it turned out, these three were not the only ones who thought this was an issue. When State ratification messages started arriving with their own commentary and suggestions for individual rights, Congress began to consider the idea of a "Bill of Rights."

How did chinas varied geography both help and hinder chinas development as a country
OLEGan [10]
One famous speculation about the impact of China’s geography comes from Jared Diamond’s book Guns, Germs, and Steel.
<span><span><span>Diamond says that China’s geography initially helped the country.  He says (on p. 414) that China’s heartland did not have many barriers to break it up.  Its two major river valleys were easily connected.  This allowed the civilization of the north to interact with the civilization of the south.  The two civilizations could share ideas and strengthen one another.  This, Diamond says, helped China become a very strong and advanced country by the early 1400s.  At that point, it was more developed than European countries were.  Thus, its geography helped it by allowing it to become a unified civilization very quickly.However, Diamond says that this geography then caused China to lose its lead over Europe.  Because China was so geographically interconnected, it was able to become one unified country instead of being many small countries as existed in Western Europe.  In Europe, the countries competed with one another and forced each other to develop.  In China, there was only one country and there was no competition.  This meant that China did not have to keep progressing.  It could stagnate in terms of technology without being conquered by other neighboring countries.  Because China was united and unchallenged, it did not have to get stronger.  In this way, Diamond says, its geography, which had once helped it rise, also helped make it fall.</span></span></span>
