The Romans knew seven bright objects in the sky: the Sun, the moon, and the five brightest planets. They named the planets after the most important gods. Because Mercury was the fastet planet as it orbited the sun, it named after the messenger:GOD MERCURY. Hope this will help :P.

True or False: The colonists were outraged with the Townshend Acts
Amanda [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Townshend Acts were a series of measures, passed by the British Parliament in 1767, that taxed goods imported to the American colonies. But American colonists, who had no representation in Parliament, saw the Acts as an abuse of power. The British sent troops to America to enforce the unpopular new laws, further heightening tensions between Great Britain and the American colonies in the run-up to the American Revolutionary War.

alina1380 [7]

Answer: My response

Explanation:

Pros:

Troops are effictive in minimizing the threat of angry protesters, pemobs etc, through tactics such as blocking/holding back crowds, etc

They are often used in the events of a crisis, such as a war or natural disaster to aid with medical care, food distrubution, and other services

Cons:

Especially in oppressive regimes, troops might abuse their rights and use their influence to coerce innocent people to give them money, etc. They might also cause outrage by taking actions such as beating up, teargassing, killing, or mass arresting protesters

Troops may use their power to attempt coups, throwing off the stability of a countries govt.

Sorry for the spelling errors,

Jade
