In a 6-8 Paragraph explain how the stamp act led up to the American Revolution

kow [346]

Answer:

The Stamp Act was a tax put on the American colonies by the British in 1765. It said they had to pay a tax on all sorts of printed materials such as newspapers, magazines and legal documents. It was called the Stamp Act because the colonies were supposed to buy paper from Britain that had an official stamp on it that showed they had paid the tax.

The French and Indian War was fought between the British American colonies and the French, who had allied with the American Indians. It lasted from 1754 to 1763. The American colonies eventually won the war, but only with the help of the British army. The British government felt that the colonies should share in the expense of the war and help to pay for the British troops in the Americas. The Stamp Act of 1765 was a tax to help the British pay for the French and Indian War. The British felt they were well justified in charging this tax because the colonies were receiving the benefit of the British troops and needed to help pay for the expense. The colonists didn't feel the same.

The colonists felt that the British government had no right to tax them because there were not any representatives of the colonies in the British Parliament. The colonies had no say in how much the taxes should be or what they should pay for. They didn't think this was fair. They called this "taxation without representation".

The colonies reacted in protest. They refused to pay the tax. The tax collectors were threatened or made to quit their jobs. They even burned the stamped paper in the streets. The colonies also boycotted British products and merchants.

The American colonies felt so strongly against the Stamp Act that they called a meeting of all the colonies. It was called the Stamp Act Congress. Representatives from the colonies gathered together in New York City from October 7 to October 25 in 1765. They prepared a unified protest of the Stamp Act to Britain.

It was during this time that groups of American patriots called the Sons of Liberty began to form. They took the protests of British taxes to the streets. They used intimidation to get tax collectors to resign from their jobs. The Sons of Liberty would play an important role later during the American Revolution.

Eventually, the protests of the colonies to the Stamp Act began to hurt British merchants and businesses. The Stamp Act was repealed on March 18, 1766. However, the British Parliament wanted to send a message to the colonies. The Stamp Act may not have been a good way to tax the colonies, but they still felt they had the right to tax the colonies. The same day they repealed the Stamp Act, they passed the Declaratory Act which stated that the British Parliament had the right to make laws and taxes in the colonies.

The British government didn't stop trying to tax the colonies. They continued to add taxes including a Tea Tax that would lead to the Boston Tea Party and eventually the American Revolution.

otez555 [7]

Answer & Explanation:

Describe the major elements of the research process

1. Be curious (Asking the research question)

2. Review the "Tradition" (what is already known)

3. Add System and Routine (Select a research design to gather information)

4. Collect some sort of data (Note: not everything counts as data)

5. Analyze or Synthesize the data and draw conclusions (and new questions)

6. Share your results

Provide a working definition of social science research that you can build on throughout the quarter

Social Science research is a set of orderly procedures intended to help us acquire knowledge about many facets of society and human nature, or who we are. -Systematically answering questions about the social world.

Provide a working definition of technology that you can build on throughout the quarter

Constructing shared definitions, Building typologies, Drawing boundaries

Identify common ways in which technology and the research process can intersect with each other

Technologies (Computing, research, and digital) changes the way that researchers conduct research -Researchers conducting research study social impacts of technologies -Researchers conducting research design more effective technologies

Illustrate one or more connections between research and technology with an example from class

State why learning to do research well requires that you also learn to write research well

Writing and communication are present at every stage of the research

process - ”...we write not just to share our work, but to improve it before we do.” Booth et al. (2008:12) - We write to remember, understand, and to test your thinking.

Explain the need for and function of having a clear sense of your reader/audience whenever writing

Contrast Problem Solving with Critical Thinking and give an example of each type of task

Problem-solving: finding correct solutions to well-defined problems

- Critical Thinking: finding reasonable solutions to ill-defined problems

List common sources of research problems or questions

-Research question come from personal experience, disciplinary

problems, and problems of society

Define the basic aspects of any effective research question and compare these to a research topic

Explain what file compression is, state why it is useful, and be able to discuss the steps involved

Enter data into a Google Form and describe common problems encountered using Google Drive

List the basic features of a properly formatted professional or academic email

State what a "mind map" is and list one or more online tools that can be used to create them

Mind mapping is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts.

- You can create a “mind map” by using Bubbl.us

Explain how a mind mapping tool can be used to assist in the question-finding task of research

It is a visual brainstorming tool that helps you to better comprehend,

analyze, recall and generate new ideas. Just as in every great idea, the

power of mind mapping lies in its simplicity.
