Why was the Continental Congress hesitant to tax American citizens to finance the war?

History
1 answer:
Mariana [72]3 years ago
4 0

When the Continental Congress wrote the Articles of Confederation, they did not want to enforce taxes on the new states because they did not want to be like Britain. The Articles of Confederation granted the states the right to tax if they wanted to, however it was not a federal law that the federal government tax the states. Given the fact that the states could choose if they wanted to tax or not, it is not surprising that they chose not to tax, causing the United States to go further into debt. This is also one of the main reasons why the Articles of Confederation failed. The debt led them to over print money which led to inflation and also the fact that there was no national currency (each state could make their own money) really helped.

How has decolonization affected the people of Africa, Asia , and Middle East?<br> 4-6 sentences
AlladinOne [14]
Decolonization has changed major parts of society in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The decolonization of Africa has good and bad sides, the good side is that the African people’s were liberated and free from colonial oppression. He had side to the decolonization of Africa is that the African lands will no longer receive some of the financial support and population that some European nations provided. The colonization of Asia mainly consisted of Oceania and the areas bordering India and Indochina. Like Africa, the people were liberated and freed from foreign rule, but they lost the little to any financial aid they received. The Europeans went to unknown lands to colonize, expand, and make tons of money, they heavily invested in cash crops. The decolonization left these nations sticking to one industry making them a breeding ground for dictators and extreme ideologies. The same two things I mentioned with Africa and Asia apply to the Middle East, the European nations that did have colonies there only saw it as land where oil is stored.
