1. The Townshend Acts were actually a series of taxes and laws imposed upon thecolonists. The first, the Townshend Revenue Act, placed a tax on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper, and tea. Other bills included in the Townshend Acts contributed to thecolonists' angry reaction.

2.British Captain Thomas Preston, the commanding officer at the Customs House, ordered his men to fix their bayonets and join the guard outside the building. The colonists responded by throwing snowballs and other objects at the British regulars, and Private Hugh Montgomery was hit, leading him to discharge his rifle at the crowd. The other soldiers began firing a moment later, and when the smoke cleared, five colonists were dead or dying—Crispus Attucks, Patrick Carr, Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, and James Caldwell—and three more were injured. Although it is unclear whether Crispus Attucks, an African American, was the first to fall as is commonly believed, the deaths of the five men are regarded by some historians as the first fatalities in the American Revolutionary War.

3.Parliament passed four harsh laws that came to be known as the Intolerable Acts.

Question 2:

lidiya [134]

Answer:

1. This discovery included Pluto in a newly created family of dwarf planets. It also forced the International Astronomical Union to redefine the term planet.

2. The demotion of Pluto to dwarf planet was caused by the discovery of Eris, a minor body that is larger than Pluto. This discovery triggered important events in the history of science. It also proved that there are still many objects to be discovered in the solar system. Therefore, this was a positive development.

3. This discovery was controversial to a small degree because it challenged a widely accepted belief that Pluto was a planet. However, Pluto was discovered less than a century ago, and people showed little resistance to accepting the change.

4.This discovery can be linked to the developments made in astronomy during the Scientific Revolution. It’s somewhat similar to what happened when Copernicus presented his heliocentric theory. He disputed Ptolemy’s accepted theory that Earth was the center of the solar system. Copernicus argued that the Sun was the center and that Earth and the other planets revolved around it. Both discoveries triggered more research in the field of astronomy.
