The+role+of+government

You have been learning about colonial citizens' disagreement with their government over taxes and what their relationship should be. Many laws were passed and many actions taken. Was each side justified in their actions? Did any side go too far? In your groups, you are to discuss and answer the following questions:

What is the role of government? When and how much do governments have the right to tax its people? What causes change? Why do citizens rebel against their government? What causes an unwillingness to compromise?

These questions require thoughtful responses that should include many details whether from the time period we are studying or the present day. Each answer should be at least a paragraph in length so this is not something that you will be able to finish in class. If you do, your answers will most likely fall short of what is expected. Take your time and be critical while examining the circumstances relating to each question. This assignment will be submitted on Tuesday, October 25.
