The Cause and Effect of The Navigation Acts?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Navigation Acts, in English history, name given to certain parliamentary legislation, more properly called the British Acts of Trade. The acts were an outgrowth ofmercantilism, and followed principles laid down by Tudor and early Stuart trade regulations. They had as their purpose the expansion of the English carrying trade, the provision from the colonies of materials England could not produce, and the establishment of colonial markets for English manufactures. The rise of the Dutch carrying trade, which threatened to drive English shipping from the seas, was the immediate cause for the Navigation Act of 1651, and it in turn was a major cause of the First Dutch War. It forbade the importation of plantation commodities of Asia, Africa, and America except in ships owned by Englishmen. European goods could be brought into England and English possessions only in ships belonging to Englishmen, to people of the country where the cargo was produced, or to people of the country receiving first shipment. This piece of Commonwealth legislation was substantially reenacted in the First Navigation Act of 1660 (confirmed 1661). The First Act enumerated such colonial articles as sugar, tobacco, cotton, and indigo; these were to be supplied only to England. This act was expanded and altered by the succeeding Navigation Acts of 1662, 1663, 1670, 1673, and by the Act to Prevent Frauds and Abuses of 1696. In the act of 1663 the important staple principle required that all foreign goods be shipped to the American colonies through English ports. In return for restrictions on manufacturing and the regulation of trade, colonial commodities were often given a monopoly of the English market and preferential tariff treatment. Thus Americans benefited when tobacco cultivation was made illegal within England, and British West Indian planters were aided by high duties on French sugar. But resentments developed. The Molasses Act of 1733, which raised duties on French West Indian sugar, angered Americans by forcing them to buy the more expensive British West Indian sugar. Extensive smuggling resulted. American historians disagree on whether or not the advantages of the acts outweighed the disadvantages from a colonial point of view. It is clear, however, that the acts hindered the development of manufacturing in the colonies and were a focus of the agitation preceding the American Revolution. Vigorous attempts to prevent smuggling in the American colonies after 1765 led to arbitrary seizures of ships and aroused hostility. The legislation had an unfavorable effect on the Channel Islands, Scotland (before the Act of Union of 1707), and especially Ireland, by excluding them from a preferential position within the system. Shaken by the American Revolution, the system, along with mercantilism, fell into decline. The acts were finally repealed in 1849.

How did the outcome of the war affect the federalist partys efforts to change the constitution

Answers

The efforts of the Revolutionary War left our country surviving as individual states holding the most power and bitter rivals for land,economics and such. It also left us with no way to back the continentals (what the money was called) with any substance. In other words continentals were basically not worth much. We also did not have a navy to protect our trade with the West Indies or other British ports and since we owed Spain and could not pay it Spain closed off our waterway - the Mississippi River.
This being done we attempted to come up with a federal government who's power was extremely limited. The federalist regrouped, sat down and created our Constitution- getting rid of the bad parts of the Articles and creating a stronger government. One which has become a leader for other countries.

HELP!!! Describe how findings from either Solomon Asch’s experiment or Stanley Milgram’s experiment can be applied to the events at Abu Ghraib. just a short little paragraph.

Answers

The Stanley Milgram experiment shows us that good hearted people are capable of doing harm to others if they're told so by authority figures. This applies to the events at Abu Ghraib because some of the soldiers who were involved in the prison abuse may have went along with their superiors, followed their lead, or were told explicitly to abuse the prisoners.

Which of the following quotes comes from The Declaration of the Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World?

Answers

You didn't list the question options, but another question I've seen here on Brainly included this quote from the document:

"We believe the Negro, like any other race, should be governed by the ethics of civilization, and therefore should not be deprived of any of those rights or privileges common to other human beings."

Marcus Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in 1914 in Jamaica (his native country). In 1916, Garvey moved to New York City and the UNIA activity became centered there. In 1919, Garvey also started the Black Star Line, which was a shipping & distribution line dedicated to the economic success of the black community. A 1920 business meeting of the Black Star Line brought together 25,000 delegates of the UNIA from around the world in Harlem, New York. At that meeting, the Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World was produced.

The Declaration began with a list of 12 complaints of the black community, which concluded with the statement, "Against all such inhuman, unchristian and uncivilized treatment we here and now emphatically protest, and invoke the condemnation of all mankind." Then the Declaration listed 54 principles of rights asserted by the UNIA, of which the quoted line above is principle #3.

The number of aliens of any nationality who may be admitted under the immigration laws to the United States in any fiscal year shall be limited to 3 per centum of the number of foreign-born persons... as determined by the United States census of 1910. The powerful Negro empires of great size and some culture existed in the Sudan before the white races entered America.
