Answer:

Option: b) Raise taxes to pay off a growing debt

Explanation:

The Estates-General was an assembly of delegates from all three of the estates (clergy, nobility, and commoners). The purpose of the meeting of the Estates-General in 1789 was to reflect on the increasing debt. The debt led the monarchy and the government to raise taxes. A debate on new taxes led to discontent among the people of the Third Estate because they had to pay high taxes while the other two enjoyed the rights and power in France.

Which of the following issues was often a problem for local farmers in a colonized region?
vova2212 [387]
The option is D.



The best example of this is colonial India, where several famines happened under British Rule, being the first major of it in 1770, in the region of Bengal, where about

a quarter or a third of the population starved to death in a ten-month period, and East India Company's raising of taxes to farmers disastrously coincided with this, exporting

the majority of the crops to Europe, and leaving poor most of the population that was employed in agriculture in that moment.
