The Boston port act was when The British Parliament closed down the Boston port until we payed for all the tea that was destroyed during the Boston tea party. The quartering act was rewritten and released with the rest of the laws and it stated that redcoats could not only stay in empty buildings now they could stay in people's homes as long as they payed for the food they ate. The impartial administration of justice act granted the British Parliament power to re-elect all of the government in the colonies. Finally, the Massachusetts Bay Regulating act gave the royally appointed governor wide ranging power and control over the colonists. This act was yet another one of the grievances the king had made toward the colonists]]> 2016-10-21 02:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/marshm22/h5pvn1p4ap1r/wish/132256533 marshm22 https://padlet.com/marshm22/h5pvn1p4ap1r/wish/132258019 Locke, Montesquieu, Hobbes, and Rousseau had many ideas about government. Including social contracts, democratic, and republican. Locke believed that people had the right to life, liberty, and property and that the king acted to protect these rights. Montesquieu believed that the government should be split up into 3 branches so that no one branch gets too much power. He also believed that the social contract put people into a state of war. Furthermore, Hobbes believed that there was a need for a king. He thought that the king made the laws and protected the people, the social contract. Finally, Rousseau believed that the community should govern themselves, that no one person should have more power than any one else. These philosophers were a big part in writing the declaration of independence, Thomas Jefferson used their ideas when he wrote it, and they proved to be very useful.]]> 2016-10-21 02:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/marshm22/h5pvn1p4ap1r/wish/132258019 marshm22 https://padlet.com/marshm22/h5pvn1p4ap1r/wish/132295422 Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine.
