Why did the British attempt to raise taxes in the colonies during the second half of the 1700s?

<em>A.) To pay for the French and Indian War.</em>

Explanation:

One of the main reasons that the colonists wanted to break away and become independent from Great Britain was because they kept trying to unfairly tax them.

Numerous tax laws were put on the colonists, taxing things like paper products or even taxing tea. The colonists thought this was very unfair, as they had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them. This is known as "taxation without representation."

Great Britain tried to say that the taxes were justified because they had to pay for the debt of the French and Indian War, which was very expensive and fought on American soil. They also said that since they were protecting the colonists with British troops, they should have the right to tax them.

Obviously, the colonists still disagreed and thought the taxing was unfair, which caused them to eventually boycott products that contained the tax and even in some cases become violent.

How would you deal with some inconsistencies in writing a report?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Consistency errors like that one will make your writing look unprofessional and seem confusing. Checking your writing for consistency is an important part of the editing process. And while that may seem obvious, creating consistency is more difficult than it seems.

Explanation:

You're reading a novel. You've gotten into the swing of the plot, you're feeling invested in the main characters. And then the author mentions the name of the city the action is in again.And that name is spelled entirely differently than it was the first time you saw it.Suddenly, you're taken out of the story. Did you make a mistake the first time? No, it seems you didn't. The author made the mistake – and keeps making it throughout the story.
