Ms. Sue, I don't see the answer in the slide show.
Sorry, HappyFace, that wasn't the link I intended to post.
I can't find the original link -- but it said that one of the things that town meetings did was arrange to have roads built in the area.
1. The king wanted to pass a law that raises taxes in the colonies for the French and Indian War. Parliament will make and pass the law to support this policy.
To answer this question, we need to understand the British political system. In England, King George III held the most powerful position as the monarch. However, he did not have the authority to pass laws on his own. That responsibility fell to Parliament, which consisted of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Parliament was responsible for making and passing laws in England.
In the American Colonies, although they were under British rule, they had their own political systems. Therefore, the king's proposed law to raise taxes would need to go through the colonial governing bodies.
2. A farmer thinks that the people of his small community need to clear a road or path through a field so he and other farmers can get their crops to the town to sell. He would most likely go to Town Meetings to discuss the matter.
In the American Colonies, local self-governance was an essential part of their political system. Town Meetings were democratic assemblies where residents of a town gathered together to discuss and vote on local issues and make decisions collectively. It was a direct form of democracy where people had a voice in local governance.
Therefore, if the farmer wanted to bring up the matter of clearing a road or path through a field, he would most likely attend the Town Meeting, where he could discuss the issue with other members of the small community and jointly decide on the best course of action.
