Answer:

Many soldiers living in the Andersonville Prison were subjected to inhumane living conditions.

Most of the information was made available through letters and diaries, most famously of Corporal Samuel J. Gibson, who was a union soldiers, captured an imprisoned.

While his messages mostly talked about stable health of prisoners and 'tolerable conditions' subsequent writings described a prison system that was hastily built with poor planning.

Overcrowding was rampant and of over 45,000 prisoners who lived on the 16 acres site, approx. 13,000 died.

There was never enough food to go around for the young men and sanitary conditions quickly disintegrated leading to widespread diseases.

Which part of the Constitution establishes the legislative branch of the government?

ololo11 [35]

The answer to this question would be C. Article I.

This is the part of the Constitution that establishes the legislative branch of the government. It will be called as the Congress. The Congress would be composed of a House of Representatives and a Senate which then forms a bicameral legislative. The Bill of Rights, the Article II of the United States Constitution, and the Amendment I of the United States Constitution, would be the wrong choices on this problem.

<em>The Stamp Act</em>

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 and was a tax that Great Britain put on the colonists. Paper products such as newspapers and legal documents now had this tax on them, which sometimes contained a seal or a stamp which proved the purchaser paid the tax on the product.

The colonists were not happy with the Stamp Act and they felt as if it was unfair that they were being taxed. They had nobody to vouch for them in the British Parliament, which is called "taxation without representation." They started to get angry and boycott the products that contained the tax, even sometimes becoming violent and harming British merchants.

On the other hand, Great Britain deemed its taxing to be fair. The French and Indian War was expensive and since it was fought on American soil, they believed the colonists should pitch in. They also said the tax was unfair because they were using their own soldiers to protect the colonists.

The colonists still did not agree with this. They were very strongly against the Stamp Act and even being taxed in general. This would eventually start to hurt British merchants and businesses, which made Great Britain realize this tax was doing more harm than good. They then repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.
