The concept of improvement originally functioned as a financial creed to improve the nation’s fortune and thereby to improve standards of living of its inhabitants. By observing enlightened principals, prosperity and trade would flow morals and habits, reforms, and nations modernized. Individuals such as John Locke and Francis Bacon ordered explicitly and well-managed landscape with civility; they believed that it was possible to have a civilizing influence on the populace. Locke justified the confiscation of land from those who were reluctant to improve it to an English standard; this justified British imperialism in North America and Ireland.

Why Not Just Print Money To Pay Down The Debt? Introduction The national debt has seemingly being increased each day. The federal government has sorted out measures to try and eliminate this debt, but nothing seems to be working. The people have, therefore, come up with suggestions that the government should print more money to pay the debt. This might not be a solution as well due to several reasons.

The government tries to influence how the supply of money is in the economy to control and regulate inflation. This, therefore, means that printing of more money would make inflation even worse than it is right now. Why then would printing money lead to more inflation? This is because, the more the cash is printed and released to the people, the more the chasing and the lesser the goods available. This means that the consumer demands for goods will be high, whereas the firms and sellers will still have the same amount of…

Stamp Act and the Boston Massacre I chose to analyze the Stamp Act and the Boston Massacre. The Stamp Act was ratified in 1765 by the British parliament. Under this act, it was required that every American colonist should pay taxes on each piece of printed paper they used like licenses, legal documents, newspapers, ship papers, publications e and also playing papers. The reason for passing this act was to assist the British government in lining up their finances after the seven-year battle with France (OpenStax 2019). Many colonists were against the Stamp Act, arguing that it was unfair, and it resulted in violence, which aimed at threatening the stamp collectors into backing off their duties. The Boston Massacre that happened in 1770 started as a path clash between a British soldier and American colonists, but it quickly worsened and became a bloody slaughter (Editors, 2009).
