<span>B) belief in religious equality of all people.
Let's take a look at the available options and see what makes sense and what doesn't given our knowledge of Sikhism, Hinduism, and Islam.
A) belief in a single god.
* Islam believes in a single God. So this is obviously not the correct answer.
B) belief in religious equality of all people.
* Not entirely certain about this option. My first impression is that it's the correct answer simply because the radical believers in Islam seem so focused on the "non-believers" needing to be converted, or killed. So I did a quick google search on Sikhism and its tenets. And immediately found the following "Somewhat unique among the world's religions, Sikhism rejects the notion that any religion, even theirs, holds a monopoly on ultimate spiritual truth." So this is definitely the correct answer.
C) belief in existence of a single founder of the religion.
* Islam believes in the founder being Muhammad. So this is also not the correct answer.
D) belief in the rebirth of souls after death.
* Islam believes in an after life and Hinduism believes in reincarnation. So this is also a bad choice.</span>
The central government couldn't collect taxes to fund its operations. The Confederation relied on the voluntary efforts of the states to send tax money to the central government. Lacking funds, the central government couldn't maintain an effective military or back its own paper currency.
The taxes that Britain imposed on the colonists angered the colonists because some colonists couldn't afford to pay those taxes, and most of the things that Britain put taxes upon were important, fundamental things that people usually buy, like glass, oil, paint, lead, paper, ink, sugar, and tea.
