Response 1
“The Inhabitants of the Massachusetts bay were notorious in the smuggling Business, from the
Capital Merchant down to the meanest Mechanick [poorest craftsmen]. . . . So lost to all Sense of
Honor was this Set of Men, that the smuggling Trade went on as usual, until at last . . . it brought on
the present Rebellion. . . .
“. . . The Ministry . . . procured a new Act [in 1767] to be passed, laying Duties upon Tea, Glass,
Paper, and Painters Colours. This Act was not more unreasonable than many other Acts which had
been submitted to for many Years past, and which, even at this Time, they made no Objection to. . .
.
“As to the Glass in particular, the Duty was so trifling, that it would not have enhanced the Price of it
to the Purchaser. . . . The true Reason of Opposition was this: The Inhabitants of the Colonies were
a Race of Smugglers. They carried an extensive Trade with the Dutch, not only in Holland, but very
greatly with the Dutch Settlements in the West Indies. . . . The Smugglers then, who were the
prevailing Part of the Traders in the Capitals of the several Provinces, found it necessary for their
Interest, to unite in defeating the Operation of the Act.”
Peter Oliver, former chief justice of the royal colony of Massachusetts, Origin and Progress of the
American Rebellion, published in 1781

Using the excerpt, answer (a), (b), and (c).
Briefly describe the point of view expressed by Oliver in
the excerpt.
Briefly describe a historical situation in which Oliver
produced the excerpt.
Briefly describe ONE piece of evidence used by Oliver to
support his argument in the excerpt.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. Oliver shows a third-person point of view to narrate his story about what was happening in the colonies. He does not put himself as participating in situations, but as someone who had a panoramic view and what was happening, being able to quote these events based on that view.

2. Oliver was telling about the increasing taxation of the English government on products produced in the colonies. He shows how it hurt smugglers and encouraged smuggling products to be offered, sold and bought as a way to overcome unfair taxation. It also shows that there was a smugglers' union to take a stand against this government attitude.

3. Oliver uses the phrase "This Act was not more unreasonable than many other Acts which had been submitted to for Many Years past" to show that this was not the first time that the government had imposed an unjust tax on the colonies. With this he reinforces the argument that justifies the action of smugglers / traders to act against the government.

Answers

Answer:

1. the death of Hamlet's father - Claudius

2. the death of Hamlet's father and the ensuing hasty marriage - Gertrude

3. Ophelia's rejection of Hamlet's love - Polonius

4. disappointment at not being named king after his father's death - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

Explanation:

Hamlet is a character who goes through many difficult situations, such as the murder of his father, the usurpation of the throne that belonged to his father, the marriage of his mother to the murderer, the rule and death of the woman he loves, the specter of father walking through the fantas and a highly shaken psychologist. All of these things make Hamlet have attitudes that are considered abnormal for the other characters who faithfully believe that Hamlet is crazy.

Hamlet is not crazy, but Claudius (the killer of Hamlet's father) believes that he went crazy because of his father's death. Gertrudes believes he is dead because of her marriage shortly after the death of Hamlet's father and her husband. Polonius believes that he is crazy for not having achieved the love of Ophelia and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern believe that he is crazy for not being his father's successor.

Answer:

1. the death of Hamlet's father - Claudius

2. the death of Hamlet's father and the ensuing hasty marriage - Gertrude

3. Ophelia's rejection of Hamlet's love - Polonius

4. disappointment at not being named king after his father's death - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

How did the US join World War II?

The United States had been on the outside of World War II for two years prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, which drew the country into the battle.

The start of WWI was less complicated than the start of WW2. The five-strong major European powers were swiftly drawn into hostilities after a 'big bang' outbreak in August 1914.

The United States' entry into World War I was likewise less complicated than the United States' entry into World War II. By 1917, there was little opposition to participating in the war. President Woodrow Wilson requested a declaration of war against Germany in April, partly in response to Berlin's doctrine of unrestricted submarine warfare (sinking commercial ships without warning).

Hence, option (B) is accurate.
