B. unequal system of taxation.
The gabelle, the taille and the tithe are examples of the unequal system of taxation in France under the Old Regime. The gabelle was a tax on salt, the taille a tax on incomes, and the tithe a tax paid to the Catholic Church. These taxes were paid by members of the Third Estate (the common people). The First and Second Estates (clergy and nobility) were exempt from most taxes, thereby placing an unfair burden of taxation on the Third Estate.
Answer:
The Handsmaid Tale
Explanation:
The Handmaid Tale tells the story of Gilead, a dystopian country ruled by a religious authoritarian government in parts of what used to be United States territory.
Besides many other topics, the show presents Gilead as a rural, traditional oriented society that is transitioning into fully organic agriculture. This transition takes place in response to a global crisis of pollution that has also affected human fertility rates (the main topic of the show).
Gilead is shown as a slow-paced agricultural society which proudly presents itself as the first green nation. The show makes a point of how Gilead has drastically cut down carbon emissions and pollution and how the leaders of Gilead use this as an argument to justify their authoritarian measures.
In contrast, the show presents life before Gilead and life in Canada as more urban life. In a sense, Gilead is at the same time a Utopia and a dystopia. With all the idealized elements of rural life artificially kept by an iron-fisted religious authoritarian government.
The reason why farming has been difficult in iraq in the 1970s is because of the decline of the fruits that they grow, with this reason, it brought a down fall in the money or profit that they could earn which leads farmers to produce slowly because of the low prices they earn from the market. This leads to difficulty on the farmers and the sellers who sells their fruits.
