What are 4 reasons why the colonist should form a independent and free nation without Great Britain?
vodomira [7]

The main reason why the colonists wanted to break away from Great Britain was "taxation without representation." Great Britain were taxing the colonists, through things like the Stamp Act, and the colonists felt like this was unfair. They did not get a say in what they were being taxed on and how much it was. They had no representation in British Parliament and had no way to make these decisions, so they felt it was unfair to be taxed. This made the colonists end up boycotting the products that were being taxed, leaving Great Britain with not as much money to pay war debts. Another reason was Great Britain sometimes made large armies stay with the colonists, who were normally armed. Great Britain then made the colonists provide housing for them, along with cooking, and even paying for them.

What was the main impact of the anti Federalist on the adoption of the us constitution
kondor19780726 [428]

The most signficant impact of the anti-federalists on the Constitution was the implementation of the Bill of Rights.


Anti-federalists were concerned that the new US Constitution gave too much power to the federal government. Anti-federalists argued that a strong central (aka federal) government would result in tyranny, just like it did when America was still part of the British empire. This is why the anti-federalists wanted a list of rights that all American citizens can possess. This list of rights would check the power of the federal government and prevent the government from restricting the rights of citizens.

nata0808 [166]
<span>More people began to live comfortably, causing the rush to the suburbs which was encouraged by the federal agencies that loan guarantees made living in the suburbs cheaper than in the city apartments. Large population had begun families when the soldiers returned home from war, causing a Baby boom. Truman supported the Point Four program to support the poor and discourage them from becoming Communists, also called for the Fair Deal which recommended full employment with higher minimum wage, improved housing, better farm price, and an expanded  Social Security.<span>
