History

Answer:

They organizedly began to resist the centralist and mercantilism policies of British rule.

Explanation:

  • in 1765, the Sons of Liberty was founded in New England, and in the same year the Stamp Act Congress refused all extraordinary taxes, a boycott of British goods was declared, and the accepted principle of the No taxation without representation policy of the American colonies.
  • It called for direct representation of the American colonies in the British Parliament, which decisively rejected.
  • Although the British Parliament abolished extraordinary tax levies after the conflict between the British Army and the Americans in Boston in 1770 (The Boston Massacre), it already gave the East India Company a monopoly on tea exports as early as 1773. When agents of the company, despite the resistance of the colonists, attempted to unload tea in Boston, a group of Americans broke into the ship and threw all the cargo of tea overboard. This event is known in history as The Boston Tea Party.
  • Following British violence in the Massachusetts colony (1773), representatives of the 13 colonies met next year in Philadelphia for the first Continental Congress, at which they again took up autonomy and resolved the crisis peacefully.
  • Because King George III rejected their proposals and stated that colonies must obey, incidents between the colonists and the British army were frequent. The British responded by closing the ports, handing over the lowlands of Ohio to Canada (Quebec Act, 1774) and a series of repressive measures.

How does the cause-and-effect structure support Tuchman’s viewpoint that the new illusion of omnipotence must also be shattered?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
It shows that the war resulted in a new illusion of omnipotence."In April 1917 the illusion of isolation was destroyed, America came to the end of innocence, and of the exuberant freedom of bachelor independence. That the responsibilities of world power have not made us happier is no surprise. To help ourselves manage them, we have replaced the illusion of isolation with a new illusion of omnipotence" Barbara Tuchman

Democracy came to Greece by means of which of the following? Select all that apply.
Valentin [98]

The correct answers are the last two:

a statesman named Solon who made laws prohibited the enslavement of debtors;

and

the leadership of Cleisthenes who presented a constitution in 508.

Solon (640-558 BC) did not originate democracy in Athens, but did take steps that led in that direction. According to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, "While Solonian reforms did not establish democracy, they were a crucial step on the Athenian road to democracy. Solon's constitution, consisting of moderate redistribution rather than a revolutionary transfer of political power, nonetheless granted important rights to the lowest class of citizens."

Cleisthenes (570-508 BC) is known as the founder of Greek democracy. He aligned himself with the Assembly (of the people) against the aristocracy and managed to impose democratic reforms by means of a new constitution that was approved by the Assembly and implemented in 508 BC. There's much more to the story than that, but we'll keep it brief here.


As to the other answers, Plato founded a school of thought in Athens prior to Aristotle, and neither of them viewed democracy all that favorably.

Nobles worked against tyrannical monarchs for their own benefit, not to spur democracy.

Tyrants were called "tyrants" (a word referring to an absolute ruler or dictator) because they ruled for their own interests, not for "the needy."

Oligarchy ("government by the few") would not support democracy ("government by the people").
