Answers to "Valley Forge: Would you have quit?"
xeze [42]

I can't really answer this for you because this is YOUR opinion but here's what I would've said; Yes, I would have because of the extreme hardships the militia men had to go through. During that winter, many soldiers had suffered the consequences of going through and not quitting the journey but if I were one of them, I would've quit. Even though I know that I have to fight for the country, I would not have been able to go through with the lasting consequences. Men had to walk through treacherous snow which also was cold and wet, this was not a good environment for soldiers to be in.

17. Why was the Tea Act created? How did the colonists react to it
olchik [2.2K]
The tea act was created because the East India Company's tea wasn't being bought and was losing money. The East India Company made England money so England took the tax on tea off from theirs while other merchants who sold tea still had to pay tax. This allowed the East India Company to sell their tea for less and got more people to but their tea. This angered Patriots because they still had no say in government and everyone else still had to pay the tax for tea which made less people buy the regular tea because it would cost more.

Who did Jefferson believe represented the virtue and wholesomeness of the new republic?  A) Factory workers
Paladinen [302]

Answer: Yeoman farmers

Explanation: Jefferson and the form of democracy he aimed to popularize, supported yeoman farmers and was against the other options listed in this question, the factory worker, merchant and banker.

The new republic represented freedom from corruption, aristocracy and British rule and the yeoman farmer was a perfect example of people who were not touched  by any of these as they simply relied on the land and their farm yield. Jefferson therefore believed that they represented the virtue and wholesomeness of the new republic.

What does this tape reveal about nixon's view of his power as the president?
maxonik [38]
Based on the tapes from the oval office, Richard Nixon felt that because he was president that he was above the law. This meant that the normal laws of the Untied States did not necessarily apply to him.

However, this was not the reality of the situation. In the Supreme Court case Nixon vs. United States, the Supreme Court ruled overwhelmingly that Nixon was not above the law and had to hand over the tapes to the court. This ultimately resulted in the resignation of Nixon.
