I do not think this qualifies as a just statement because Parliament only composed of British representatives, and no Colonist representatives, therefore, no Colonist could back up their viewpoint or dispute any taxes enforced, only the British would have say in what would be a just or unjust tax. In addition, many of the British, who moved to the New World, inherited new ways of life and were no longer under the influence from the English—with a new

Salutary neglect in its self was an undocumented, though long-lasting, British policy of avoiding strict enforcement of parliamentary laws, meant to keep the American colonies obedient to England. Or in much simpler terms, if England left the colonies alone, the colonies would have absolutely no problem with parliament. Since the imperial authority did not assert the power that it had, the colonists were left to govern themselves, therefore becoming accustomed to the idea of self-control. The effects of such prolonged isolation eventually resulted in the emergence of a collective identity that considered itself separate from Great Britain causing the American Revolution. The end of salutary neglect meant the American colonies were not happy with England.
From 1781 to 1789, the Articles of Confederation did not provide the United States with an effective government. The purpose of the Articles of Confederation was to try to limit the power of the central government and eliminate the chance that the federal government could become too strong. However, the Articles of Confederation created a national government that could not effectively run the government largely due to lack of power given to Congress to regulate trade, levy taxes and ineffectiveness of foreign policy. The Articles of Confederation did not give Congress power to effectively regulate trade. The statistics on the chart included show the United States population increased from 1784 to 1789, but the market value of exports to Great Britain did not increase in comparison to this population growth (Doc B).
The Tea Party of the Colonia Era and Tea Party of Today Despite having the same name “Tea Party,” this modern day movement does not share very much with the historical event in 1773. The most glaring difference between the Boston Tea Party of 1773 and the Tea Party of today remains to be the movement’s political affiliations. The majority of the Tea Party members are registered Republicans voters who support many of the party candidates, which divides the resemblance of the Boston’s Tea Party from the very beginning. The Boston Tea Party received no financial support from large companies looking to push their views on society. The today’s Tea Party receives substantial financial support from multibillion dollar company owners such as the Koch Brothers.
The British treated Americans indifferently when they were actually the same country. Although the economy and diplomatic relations were significantly changed, the most important factor contributing was the political system. The colonies were not allowed to let their own economy flourish. The British set laws such as the Navigation Acts and rejected Mercantilism to restrict the American economy and help the
Lawrence Jennings explains why the French never had a mass movement like the British abolitionism triumph in 1833. A few society members and government ministers were consistent advocates of emancipation measures, but they were not able to convince colleagues. They were hobbled by the government law of association. In 1842, police restricted meeting with British colleagues. The society could not even hope for public rallies.
Reporters in Vietnam were mostly inexperienced. This enabled the Kennedy administration to control news management more effectively. The relatively new press corps began to question tactics, but didn’t challenge U. S. involvement in what was seen as a civil war.10 With the first recommendation to send in combat troops, the deception of policy and managing the news came into play. In November 1961 Kennedy received a report requesting 6,000 to 8,000 personnel, including combat troops, be sent to Vietnam. Although there was attention in the media to the report, Kennedy was able to keep it out of the news by declining to send in combat troops.
Prior to the conflicts of the 18th century, the British form of government served as a model for those seeking a successful political system, and was admired for its equal distribution of power. However, during the years leading up to Revolution, political dissatisfaction initiated by Enlightenment ideas grew considerably. The Enlightenment was a period of philosophical free thinking and self betterment that inspired many revolutionists in colonial America. For instance, Enlightenment thinker John Locke’s argued that “political authority did not derive from the divine right of kings or the inherited authority of aristocracies but from the consent of the governed,” (Brinkley Alan pg 142). Jean Jacques Rousseau concluded that all people were entitled to participate in their government, as well as possessing liberties to political and legal equality (Brinkley Alan pg 142).
In comparison, the first instances of declaring independence were used, not seen in the magnitude that they were declared in before. That shows that the two revolutions are the same. The American Revolution and French Revolution have differences as well. One of them is the fact that the American's had warships and the French rebels did not. This is significant because the French rebels did not have a navy as the Americans had a navy.
