In colonial Connecticut between 1670 and 1719, women participated in one of every six civil cases, the vast majority of which we

re debt-related. Women's participation dropped to one in ten cases after 1719, and to one in twenty by the 1770's. However, as Cornelia Hughes Dayton notes in Women Before the Bar: Gender, Law, and Society in Connecticut, 1639–1789, these statistics are somewhat deceptive: in fact, both the absolute numbers and the percentage of adult women participating in civil cases grew steadily throughout the eighteenth century, but the legal activity of men also increased dramatically, and at a much faster rate. Single, married, and widowed women continued to pursue their own and their husbands' debtors through legal action much as they had done in the previous century, but despite this continuity, their place in the legal system shifted dramatically. Men's commercial interests and credit networks became increasingly far-flung, owing in part to the ability of creditors to buy and sell promissory notes (legal promises to pay debts). At the same time, women's networks of credit and debt remained primarily local and personal. Dayton contends that, although still performing crucial economic services in their communities—services that contributed to the commercialization of the colonial economy—women remained for the most part outside the new economic and legal culture of the eighteenth century.

Can someone give me the answer and explain why
ad-work [718]

Answer: The answer is B) The federal government could not raise money by collecting taxes.

Explanation: This was only a few years after the Revolutionary War. The country had war debts they had to pay back and if they didn't have money from taxes to pay then they couldn't pay their debts. However, this is a bit ironic since one of the reasons the fought for independence from Great Britain was because they thought taxes violated their right as citizens and now the US government wanted to tax them.
