VI.) Answer in detail

1.) “Taxation without Representation” led to the outbreak of American War of Independence – Explain

Answer: George Washington stated that no thinking man in North America desired independence. And he became the colonists. George Washington was commander-in-chief and later became the first president of America. The war of independence was not started by the colonies, the war is started with their grievances on taxation and restrictions on trade. When duties are imposed on molasses, wines, silks, coffee and other luxury items and the Sugar Act of 1764 was prohibited then the protest of merchants started and from the preamble of the Sugar Act the slogan is taken that “No taxation without representation”. Thus the Britishers who were imposing tax without considering their opinion or without any representation led to the outbreak of American War of Independence.

Answer:In 18th century there were many famous thinkers who wrote rationally and helped people to decided what is right and what is wrong. Philosophers like Voltaire, Montesquieu and Rousseau were criticized the situations at the time. Voltaire was a writer and activist as well and very harshly criticized the Church. ‘Candide’ was the famous work done by Voltaire. His famous quote is, “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”Voltaire promoted freedom of speech by exclaiming, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.

Another philosopher at that time was jean Jacques Rousseau. He came up with new ideas to solve political issues. He prepared French people for the great revolution. In his book ‘Social Contract’ he says, “Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains” this statement shows his understanding of society.

Philosopher Montesquieu who wrote ‘The Persian Letters’ and ‘The Spirit of the Laws’ also supported liberty. He came up with theory of separation of powers. According to him the liberty of individual will be protected when the government will have three separate organs legislature, executive and judiciary thus there will be balance in powers.

Many philosophers and thinkers opposed religious intolerance and political and social privileges and provoked ordinary people to think and act.
