What was a main idea behind the American Revolutionary War?

Social Studies
1 answer:
lord [1]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Multiple causes took place that eventually caused many colonists to go against Great Britain.

Explanation:

By 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, there were many causes that continued to pile up. Parliament had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists didn't like these laws.

Great Britain was passing these laws because of the French and Indian War, which had ended in 1763. That war, which had been fought in North America, left Great Britain with a huge debt that had to be paid. Parliament said it had fought the long and costly war to protect its American subjects from the powerful French in Canada. Parliament said it was right to tax the American colonists to help pay the bills for the war.

Most colonists disagreed. Parliament was elected by people living in England, and the colonists felt that lawmakers living in England could not understand the colonists' needs. The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry.

Radda [10]

In the U.S., all 50 states have legislatures, and all of them, except for Nebraska, have a bicameral Congress consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives; Furthermore, besides passing legislation, state legislatures also have other governing functions such as approving a state's budget and initiating tax legislation and articles of impeachment.

The probation or parole officer’s power to recommend revocation is: question 13 options: absolute limited meaningless unfettered
navik [9.2K]
The parole officer could only initiate revocation if

1. If the parolee is not available on the day of the Board hearing
2. If the parolee is sentenced by the Federal Court

His authority is limited to the judges as parole hearing officers. The judges could hear or ignore the recommendations made by the parole officer when they see fit. However, this power of initiating revocation is very crucial and must not be taken lightly and for granted.
