"I can see no reason to doubt but the imposition of taxes, whether on trade, or on land, or houses, or ships, on real or personal, fixed ort floating property, in the colonies is absolutely irreconcilable with the rights of the colonists as British subjects and as men. I say men, for in a state of nature no man can take my property from me without my consent: if he does, he deprives me of my liberty and makes me a slave." —James Otis, 1763 Based on this excerpt, what do you think Otis's purpose was in writing this document?1To sell 
2To describe
 3To conquer 
4To persuade

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

4. To persuade

Explanation:

In this excerpt, Otis's purpose is most likely to persuade. Otis tells us that no person should be able to take another person's property without their consent. He believes this is what happens with the taxes the British take from the colonists. As the colonists have not been able to vote for the British representatives, this means that they have not consented. Otis wants to persuade the audience that this is an unfair situation.

Answer 2
Answer: Number 4 because he is persuading the Americans to see that the taxing of the Brittish is not fair.

Why did the Virginia Company give settlers the right to self-government?

Answers

They were corporations (Virginia Company of London and Virginia Company of Plymouth) and they were employed by the Crown. The Crown gave them the right to self-govern and the Companies did the same for their settlers (colonies).

Answer:

The Virginia Company refers collectively to two joint-stock companies chartered under James I on April 10, 1606 with the goal of establishing settlements on the coast of America. ... The principle was thus established that a royal colony should be self-governing, and this formed the genesis of democracy in America.
