What was the problem with using wheat as commodity currency?

History
1 answer:
notka56 [123]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

It's not like this was never done before. It was.

Compare it to gold however.

1. The Fed can't manufacture gold.

2. Wheat would have a crop each year that varies. So there would be no stability.

3. Gold does not oxidize nor does it react (hardly) with anything else. If you have an ounce of gold today, it will be an ounce tomorrow. In time, wheat will spoil.

4. It is not easily mined, see point 1. Wheat is easily grown to produce more.

5. It does not burn as wheat might.

6. Wheat cannot be made into smaller amounts like coins the way gold can.

7. It does not disappear into binary numbers the way bitcoin would.  (Of course wheat wouldn't either).

True or False: The colonists were outraged with the Townshend Acts
Amanda [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Townshend Acts were a series of measures, passed by the British Parliament in 1767, that taxed goods imported to the American colonies. But American colonists, who had no representation in Parliament, saw the Acts as an abuse of power. The British sent troops to America to enforce the unpopular new laws, further heightening tensions between Great Britain and the American colonies in the run-up to the American Revolutionary War.
