Why were the British so surprised by the colonists' reaction to the Stamp Act?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

These taxes included the Stamp Act, passed in 1765, which required the use of special paper bearing an embossed tax stamp for all legal documents. ... They protested, saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens. The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying, British goods.

(for history)

Answers

Answer:

An example of a problem or situation for which dictators appear to provide "solutions" to their country (although in reality they end up establishing authoritarian and violent governments) is, for example, a social or political conflict within the nation's society.

Thus, for example, after the conflict between the monarchy and the republicans in Spain in the 1930s, the dictator Francisco Franco entered the scene, establishing a dictatorship that lasted 36 years.

Bantu speakers first divided in two groups: Wide and Narrow Bantu. The modern languages of the first are spoken only on and around the Cameroon grasslands, while all the other Bantu languages belong to the second. Therefore, in practice “Bantu” usually refers to Narrow Bantu. Narrow proto-Bantu emerged from Wide Bantu in the Sanaga valley just south of the grasslands of western Cameroon. Until recent times, this huge expansion was believed to have been brought about by a single vast human migration.

It proved however to be exceedingly difficult to establish the genetic subdivisions of Narrow Bantu that such a migration would have produced, mainly because the daughter languages have borrowed so much from each other and otherwise changed over the past millennia that much of the evidence for their exact genetic relationships has been erased.​

19th Amendment: Gave women the right o vote. Makes the preamble to the Constitution real.

Everybody's first pick ought to be the first amendment. It guarantees the right to belong to any religion or none at all. It guarantees the freedom of speach as long as it does not incite hatred. It guarantees the right of assembly as long as property damage is not done, nor other people hurt.

I only have 1 left. I'm going to choose 19. It seems shameful to me that it took into the early part of the 20th century to give women the vote. I need not point out what an injustice that was -- especially if you are a woman. Today the right for women to vote is taken for granted, but it was hard fought for up until Wilson granted it and then not very willingly. I'm a guy by the way.

If you're begging, you out to make a point of coming back and rewarding who answers this. Exercise your right to vote.
