Explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to read the document that has the excerpt of the textbook called The Record of Mankind written by Roehm, A., Buske, M., Webster, H. & Wesley, E.
The textbook explains that the <u>chief cause of the semi-barbarism was the lack of a government which could keep order.</u>
When the great depression of the 1930s was taking place, President Roosevelt used the radio to communicate to the Americans through plain language that explained complex issues and programmes in 30 speeches which became the "fireside chats". He touched on issues of banking, unemployment which saw millions of people renewing their hope and confidence.
The correct answers are:
2) Taxes were oppressive because colonies were not directly represented in Parliament- The implementation of laws like the Stamp Act and Townshend Act were not well accepted by the colonists, as they had no representatives in the British parliament to voice their concerns. This is why colonists developed the phrase "no taxation without representation."
4) Colonial assemblies should make rules for the colonies they represent- Before the taxes werer implemented by the British parliament, the colonial assemblies had significant law making power in the colonies. Colonists felt that this system was effective, as they got to influence and voice their concerns on matters important to the colony.
