Here are the correct answers to the questions:
1) Which of the following is not an essential element of the English political tradition?
- The correct answer is a.) Royal absolutism
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand the concept of essential elements in the English political tradition. Royal absolutism refers to the monarch's complete authority without any limitations or checks. However, the English political tradition is based on principles such as representation, which ensures that the voices of the people are heard, and the protection of certain rights. Therefore, royal absolutism contradicts these essential elements.
2) The slogan "No taxation without representation!" refers to which traditional right of English citizens?
- The correct answer is c.) To elect their representatives in Parliament
To determine the correct answer, you need to know the meaning of the slogan "No taxation without representation!" This slogan became popular during the period of American colonial rule by the British. It conveyed the idea that the English citizens in the colonies should not be subjected to taxation by a government in which they had no representation. Therefore, the traditional right of English citizens referred to in this slogan is the ability to elect their representatives in Parliament.
3) Under British rule, _____.
- The correct answer is c.) The colonists were represented in Parliament
To identify the correct answer, you need to understand the relationship between the British colonies and the British government. During British rule, the colonists had representatives in Parliament who spoke on their behalf. This was not the case for option a because each colony was not administered separately, and option b is incorrect because although the colonies cooperated, the focus here is on representation in Parliament.
4) The emergence of Parliament was important because _____.
- The correct answer is a.) It established the right of English citizens of different classes to be consulted by the government
To determine the correct answer, you need to know the significance of the emergence of Parliament. The establishment of Parliament in England was a crucial development because it provided a platform for different social classes to have a voice and be consulted by the government. This allowed for greater representation and participation in the decision-making processes. Option b is incorrect because Parliament was not the first example of a working democracy in history, and c is an incorrect statement.
7) In general, _____ could vote in elections for colonial legislatures.
- The correct answer is b.) Only property-owners
To find the correct answer, you need to be aware of the voting requirements for colonial legislatures. In general, during this time period, only property-owners had the right to vote in elections for colonial legislatures. Option a is incorrect because voting rights were not granted to all white men and women, and option c is incorrect as it suggests that the entire adult population had voting rights, which was not the case.
