Why do you think that debt has risen to almost $14 trillion today? Give specific examples of tasks and services the federal government pays for.

the answer is d. tariffs were raised by america's trading partners after the smoot-hawley tariff act, decreasing exports, and declining job rates.

1. the townshend acts of 1767 “threaten the country with poverty and ruin.”

at a town meeting held at faneuil hall in boston on october 28, 1767, boston freeholders and residents discussed the implications of the brutal townshend acts levied against the colonists. the townshend acts were a set of four acts passed by the british parliament in the summer of 1767 in order to generate revenue for the crown (through duties on goods such as lead, glass, paper, and tea) as well as exert british control over the increasingly rebellious colonists.

during the oct. 28 meeting, the bostonians found:

the excessive use of foreign superfluities is the chief cause of the present distressed state of this town, as it is thereby drained of its money: which misfortune is likely to be increased by means of the late additional burthens and impositions on the trade of the province, which threaten the country with poverty and ruin.

as a result, the citizens unanimously voted to boycott all british-made goods.

to find this first take note the house cost is $179,000 and the rate for his area is 2.3%

now turn the fraction 2.3% into a decimal, to do so move the . over to the left two times.

.023

now multiply it by 179,000

179,000(.023)= 4117

so he monthly tax payment would be $4417

the answer is true. hope this : )
