The correct answer is: "To avoid paying interest on savings bonds".

Taxes are the main source of income for the goverment in an economy. If the level of income raised through taxes is not enough to finance goverment spending (that is used to provide public services, for example), the goverment needs to borrow funds. The goverment gets indebted by issuing public debt, using the financial instrument called bond, which is bought by investors, who are the ones who lend the money.

Borrowed funds obtained by issuing bonds, entail the <u>obligation to return them in the future, together with the corresponding interest payment. If the amount of money needed is raised using taxes instead, the goverment will avoid the interest payment. </u>

Which event is the CLEAREST example of conflict between state and national governments?
katovenus [111]
A: The Civil War
Assuming that you're talking about the American (U.S) civil war, that is.

The civil war was a conflict between the rights of the (slave owning) states and the national government. A war about state rights.

The war of 1812 was between 2 independent, sovereign nations.
The great depression was just an economic thing.
The northwest ordnance, I have the least knowledge of, but it still wasn't between states and the national government.
Hope this helps.

vodka [1.7K]
The colonists opposed the taxes imposed after the French and Indian War because they claimed that since the colonies had no representation in parliament, Parliament had no right to tax them.The British parliament was of the opinion that this was the way they could cover the cost of the French and Indian War. This actually was the basis for a greater revolution among the colonists in the later stages.
