What does Taxation without Representation mean? Why was it important to the colonists?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: a phrase, generally attributed to James Otis about 1761, that reflected the resentment of American colonists at being taxed by a British Parliament to which they elected no representatives and became an anti-British slogan before the American Revolution; in full, “Taxation without representation is tyranny.”

Taxation without representation was possibly the first slogan adopted by American colonists chafing under British rule. 1 They objected to the imposition of taxes on colonists by a government that gave them no role in its policies.

What are the problems or dangers of placing elastic power in the hands of a representative body?
KonstantinChe [14]
The problem with giving plastic power in the hands of a representative body is that through it you can give basically a wide range of possible abilities/power which they can exert as they please. This isn't the best idea to do when the current representative body is prone to corruption for example.

Which best describes the influence of Christianity on enslaved African Americans?
Delicious77 [7]
The correct answer is letter C.

Christianity had a great ideal of influence and the Bible stories about freedom often kept enslaved workers' hopes alive. This was the time where people met in secret to talk about their sufferings, pray, sing, and dance to thank the God for all the blessings that the slaves are about to achieve.

otez555 [7]

Two of the misconceptions that derived from the Anti Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and that the third report wanted to fix were:

  • There is no rational medical or penological reason why charges related to crack cocaine are treated as much worse than those related to powdered cocaine. The reasoning appears to be racially motivated.
  • The stereotype of "crack babies" is a false one. Babies exposed to crack cocaine exhibit the same conditions as those exposed to powdered cocaine or tobacco, which are low weight, height or head circumference. Developmental delays and other similar problems are attributed to the environment the child grows up in, not to in-utero problems.

lapo4ka [179]

Paragraph:

"take a stand and tell what you think has been the most important change to the citizenship laws in the United States. Why did you choose this?"

After studying this timeline, I have several mixed emotions towards all the changes and extents in which some of these citizenship laws have targeted. Though there is much to uncover here, truly there is only one that I feel is the most important, beneficial, and altering change that has occurred. In 1952, the U.S congress made a change to their laws, stating that "citizenship cannot be denied because of race or gender." This has been one of our nation's greatest decisions and I'm sure that many people can agree it was very necessary for our thriving population. This law ensures that a person's citizenship cannot be disregarded in terms of race or gender, giving everyone their full potential in our society.

You can edit this and what not I hope this helps and it wasn't sent in too late!
