Revolution+Questions

In your groups, you will answer the following questions one at a time as a group (do not divide or work ahead). These questions require critical thinking before you can answer them properly. Take your time responding to these questions. You do not have to only consider the English colonies and their conflicts with Great Britain. You can and should consider present-day situations and conflicts to make connections between the events we are studying and today. Everyone should record their answers and be sure to provide as much support to your responses. (Answers will not be one or two sentences.)

1. When and how much do governments have the right to tax its people? 2. What causes change? 3. Why do citizens rebel against their government? 4. What causes an unwillingness to compromise? 5. What is the role of government? 6. What is liberty and why is it worth fighting for? 7. What are challenges newly independent countries face?

Be sure to explain all of your answers in detail.
