The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry.

Answers :

Until the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, few colonists in British North America objected to their place in the British Empire. Colonists in British America reaped many benefits from the British imperial system and bore few costs for those benefits. Indeed, until the early 1760s, the British mostly left their American colonies alone. The Seven Years' War (known in America as the French and Indian War) changed everything. Although Britain eventually achieved victory over France and its allies, victory had come at great cost. A staggering war debt influenced many British policies over the next decade. Attempts to raise money by reforming colonial administration, enforcing tax laws, and placing troops in America led directly to conflict with colonists. By the mid-1770s, relations between Americans and the British administration had become strained and acrimonious.

Explanation:

There were several key factors contributing to the Colonists' victory over the British, such as war tactics, strong leadership and one solid alliance. Despite facing larger forces, better trained armies, and more weapons, the Colonists managed to win.

The American Revolution was a colonial revolt which occurred between 1765 and 1783. The American Patriots in the Thirteen Colonies defeated the British in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) with the assistance of France, winning independence from Great Britain and establishing the United States of America

The American colonials proclaimed "no taxation without representation" starting with the Stamp Act Congress in 1765. They had no representatives in the British Parliament and so rejected Parliament's authority to tax them. Protests steadily escalated to the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the burning of the Gaspee in Rhode Island in 1772, followed by the Boston Tea Party in December 1773. The British responded by closing Boston Harbor and enacting a series of punitive laws which effectively rescinded Massachusetts Bay Colony's rights of self-government. The other colonies rallied behind Massachusetts, and a group of American Patriot leaders set up their own government in late 1774 at the Continental Congress to coordinate their resistance of Britain; other colonists retained their allegiance to the Crown and were known as Loyalists or Tories.

Answer:

Ethnicities.

Explanation:

An ethnic group or ethnicity is a certain social category of people based on the perception of its members that they have a common origin or experience.

An ethnic group can proclaim a nation claiming a territory, or constitute the majority population of a nation state, whose members or citizens similarly have a certain nationality.

Which of the following people is responsible for making the Christian faith the official religion of the Roman Empire? A. Pope J
lions [1.4K]

After the victory in the battle over his rival for the Roman throne, Emperor  Constantine took the necessary steps for convening and assembling the Milan Edict in 313 years. According to this edict, Christianity has become an equal religion with all the existing official religions of the Roman Empire. The persecution of Christians ceased and thus ended the era of early Christianity. Shortly thereafter in Nicaea in 326, the First Ecumenical Council was held on the topic of formalization of Biblical gospels, scriptures and beliefs, thus establishing the official New Testament.

The answer is: D.

Give at least one example of a service we offer to immigrants today

Integration”2 is the term the panel uses to describe the changes that both immigrants and their descendants—and the society they have joined—undergo in response to migration. The panel defines integration as the process by which members of immigrant groups and host societies come to resemble one another (Brown and Bean, 2006). That process, which has both economic and sociocultural dimensions, begins with the immigrant generation and continues through the second generation and beyond (Brown and Bean, 2006). The process of integration depends upon the participation of immigrants and their descendants in major social institutions such as schools and the labor market, as well as their social acceptance by other Americans (Alba et al., 2012). Greater integration implies parity of critical life chances with the native-born American majority. This would include reductions in differences between immigrants or their descendants vis-a-vis the general population of native-born over time in indicators such as socioeconomic inequality, residential segregation, and political participation and representation. Used in this way, the term “integration” has gained near-universal acceptance in the international literature on the position of immigrants and their descendants within the society receiving them, during the contemporary era of mass international migration.
