When the Continental Congress wrote the Articles of Confederation, they did not want to enforce taxes on the new states because they did not want to be like Britain. The Articles of Confederation granted the states the right to tax if they wanted to, however it was not a federal law that the federal government tax the states. Given the fact that the states could choose if they wanted to tax or not, it is not surprising that they chose not to tax, causing the United States to go further into debt. This is also one of the main reasons why the Articles of Confederation failed. The debt led them to over print money which led to inflation and also the fact that there was no national currency (each state could make their own money) really helped.
They had a colonial assembly-elected legislature.
Judaism was different than previous polytheistic belief systems because it is monotheistic. Jews were the first religion to believe that there was only one god, whereas other religions thought there were many. Other ancient nations didn't share this view, however. for example, the Greek and Romans believed in many gods and idolized them.
The Whiskey Rebellion (also known as the Whiskey Insurrection) was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791 and ending in 1794 during the presidency of George Washington, ultimately under the command of American Revolutionary war veteran Major James McFarlane. The so-called "whiskey tax" was the first tax imposed on a domestic product by the newly formed federal government. It became law in 1791, and was intended to generate revenue for the war debt incurred during the Revolutionary War. The tax applied to all distilled spirits, but American whiskey was by far the country's most popular distilled beverage in the 18th century, so the excise became widely known as a "whiskey tax". Farmers of the western frontier were accustomed to distilling their surplus rye, barley, wheat, corn, or fermented grain mixtures into whiskey. These farmers resisted the tax. In these regions, whiskey often served as a medium of exchange. Many of the resisters were war veterans who believed that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution, in particular against taxation without local representation, while the federal government maintained that the taxes were the legal expression of Congressional taxation powers.!!
