Political Machines were organizations that provided social services and jobs in exchange for votes.The political machines gathered votes in the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century by promising social services and jobs in exchange for their votes. They promised to help immigrants that benefited the immigrants and as well as the politics because they helped them in exchange for their votes. Tactics used by political machines to secure votes were public rallies, newspapers and even bars playing a critical role. The political machines were run by a boss who in turn had precinct captains, ward captains and district captains underneath him. They all made sure that the poor had what they needed. They also made sure the poor voted for them

Dear King George III of Great Britain,

Mama L [17]

Dear King George III of Great Britain,

I am writing to you because you have failed as a ruler. I write only after long thought about the many issues between us. Some issues and events of the last few years include raising taxes very much.

You see, in the American colonies, we believe that the purpose of government is to have the government help us out, not us serve the government. Government should be wise. It should follow the principles of John Locke, such as natural rights and that we can form a new government if the current one is not working out. These ideas mean that you must either change your laws or leave to form a new government. The role of government in natural law is to help the citizens and not to make them pay for everything they do or say.

Unfortunately, you have not lived up to these expectations as a ruler. One example of how you have disappointed us is by raising taxes to VERY high prices. This affects our rights because we should not be taxed for things that are required to survive such as breathing. Another example is how you are decreasing our natural rights. This affects our rights because you are oppressing them. A third example is how you do not really care about your people as much as before. This affects our rights because we need to have a working government to help us.

Please remember that we did try to reason with you first. Remember when we dumped the tea into the harbor, and then we fired at your troops? Or, there was the time we sent you the declaration of independence.

Because you have failed to address our concerns, the American colonists are declaring complete independence from you and from your country, Great Britain. We are no longer part of Great Britain and from now on, we will now be completely independent from you.

Sincerely,
Your Name
