The quartering act stationed british soldiers in colonial houses this accomplished
two things from the british standpoint it was a cheap way to place more soldiers in the colonies and was a good way of putting a spy in every house of possible revolutionists.unfortunately for the british this fueled the thoughts of rebellion because soldiers were less than decent in particular with theduaghters of their unwilling hosts <span />

Answer:

PLATO WORD FOR WORD

Explanation:

Me: Mr. Voltaire, your idea of religious tolerance has always been very controversial. But it has affected many people in positive ways. How do you feel about that?

Mr. Voltaire: It makes me very happy that many people have adopted the idea of religious freedom and tolerance. Back in my day, I didn’t know if it would ever happen. I am truly glad to see my ideas blossom.

Me: Sir, you were imprisoned multiple times for your views on religious tolerance. In an article by Frank Morris titled “In America’s Heartland, Building One Home for Three Faiths,” I learned about three religions coming together to build three places of worship. In the article, a woman stated, “We love our building. There is literally no good reason to move whatsoever, except to follow this Tri-Faith Initiative, which has really, absolutely moved our hearts.” What do you think about that?

Mr. Voltaire: I read that article as well. What I understood from it was that a Muslim mosque, a Christian church, and a Jewish synagogue were going to be constructed on a single piece of land. I am glad that people are coming together and spreading the message of religious tolerance and freedom.

Me: However, there are some people who are not happy about this event. They think that it spreads the wrong message. They worry that it could affect the peace and civility of the area. What are your views on such people?

Mr. Voltaire: Well, that’s disheartening. But, I think that there are always going to be a small group of people who may be closed-minded and intolerant toward other views or new ideas. But I am happy that a majority of the people are looking at this venture in a positive light.
