<em>The Stamp Act</em>

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 and was a tax that Great Britain put on the colonists. Paper products such as newspapers and legal documents now had this tax on them, which sometimes contained a seal or a stamp which proved the purchaser paid the tax on the product.

The colonists were not happy with the Stamp Act and they felt as if it was unfair that they were being taxed. They had nobody to vouch for them in the British Parliament, which is called "taxation without representation." They started to get angry and boycott the products that contained the tax, even sometimes becoming violent and harming British merchants.

On the other hand, Great Britain deemed its taxing to be fair. The French and Indian War was expensive and since it was fought on American soil, they believed the colonists should pitch in. They also said the tax was unfair because they were using their own soldiers to protect the colonists.

The colonists still did not agree with this. They were very strongly against the Stamp Act and even being taxed in general. This would eventually start to hurt British merchants and businesses, which made Great Britain realize this tax was doing more harm than good. They then repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.

Should parliament approve the Munich agreement
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The Munich Agreement should not have been approved by the Parliament.

Explanation:

The Munich Agreement was at the end of a long list of policies of appeasement that ended up aggravating and resulted in the world war. This was avoidable because after the Versailles treaty either the powers could have doubled down on Germany or offered them more generous terms.

Instead what was done was that the Nazis were allowed to take over smaller territories while the allied nations sat back and watched and agreed to it. This emboldened Germany and eventually made the war possible.
