History

Agata [3.3K]3 years ago

The Stamp Act impacted more people in the colonies and hurt the people economically whereas the Sugar Act was not hurting business in the colonies. Merchants in New England were actually able to make more money off of the act.

The Sugar Act place a tax on sugar and molasses as well as attempting to end the smuggling trade taking place with the Dutch and French. Though these products were more expensive it actually helped many merchants make more money without the competition of other countries.

The Stamp Act required a tax on all government stamps. The stamps were necessary for all contracts and official government documents. Those involved in trade needed more stamps than others and therefore greatly protested the added tax. The Stamp Act was so protested that violence was used against the stamp collectors and led to the act being repealed a year after passage.

Locke say it is appropriate to use military force
AnnZ [28]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Indeed, there is no question here, It is an affirmation.

Doing some research we find that the question that is missing is:<em> "Do you agree with him?"</em>

If that is the case, we can answer the following.

First, let's have in mind what John Locke wrote about the war in his treatise "Second Treatise of Government." He said that he supported the war but in equal or similar conditions between rivals. He appealed to the Ethics of war saying that waging war with a weaker rival was not just or moral.

With that in mind, I can say that in whatever form, war has never been the solution for conflicts. On the contrary, it only creates pain, deaths, damage, and so much destruction. That has been the history of humankind. Most of the time, nations wage war to exert power and control over other territories or exploit their raw materials.
