-which of these was a belief of most Native Americans?
a. all things are connected
b. if men were angels, no government would be necessary
c. a penny saved is a penny earned
d. all are entitled to life, liberty, and property
who would be most likely to yell, "No taxation without representation"?
a. a member of Parliament responding to the Proclamation Line of 1763
b. a colonist responding to the Townshend Acts
c. a British citizen living in London responding to the Stamp Act
d. a colonist reacting to the Boston MassacreThe simple textbook answers are A to the first one and B to the second one. However, the first question seems to ignore the fact that there are many hundreds of different Native American cultures that have different beliefs, although that is a commonly held belief. Also, I hate the use of the word "was." Natives are still here, and I hate that the mainstream American educational system ignores Native existence past the colonial period. As for the second question, the Townshend Acts were what raised the taxes and started the "no taxation without representation" movement towards revolution, but answer D could also be said to be true because it further spurred support for the separation movement.
Your second question doesn't relate to Native Americans. They didn't get "representation" (or the right to vote) until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
the first one is A (they believed everything had a spirit)
the second is B (just another part of the British taxation on there colonies)
Native Americans are many distinct cultures, not one culture I think A and D
