//Describe what you think is the difference between a **__direct__** and **__indirect__** tax in 1-2 sentences.// I think that the difference between direct and indirect tax is that indirect tax is paid to a third party like purchasing an item from a store, and direct tax is tax paid directly from people to the government, like owning a house.

__**Summary of the Stamp Act of 1765 - 10/15/10**__
 * What class of people was more directly affected by the Stamp Act (Rich or poor)? Explain.
 * How did the Stamp Act raise concerns among the colonists about Britain’s right to tax them?

I think that the rich people were more affected by the Stamp Act. The reason I think this was because the rich people could afford the paper as it was while the poor already couldn't. Then when the rich people go to buy paper since they use it more frequently they will be paying more to buy it.

It raised concerns because they never asked the colonial representatives about their own opinions before they decided to tax the colonist. The colonists wanted to have their voices heard out by the British.



__**DO NOW: NOVEMBER 9, 2010**__ Define //Treason//. Give an example. Look up for definion. Are the colonist commiting treason?

In my own words I think that treason is going against your own government. I think that the colonist are comminting treason because for example they are dumping British goods like tea into the water. They even tarred British officals. However I think are they are for a good cause. They are not treated as equally as British people living in England. They are not given the same rights. Also the colonist do not care that they are commiting treason because they want to fight for what they belive in. They want their natural rights. Why did the first Continental Congress meet?
 * __DO NOW : NOVEMBER 12, 2010__**

The first Contiental Congress met in Philedalphia in 1774 to dicuss the recently passed Intolerable Acts. The delegates didn't think that it was fair that they where being punished by the English for the rights they didn't have. By the end of the meeting they agreed that each of the 13 colonies were to have 1 total vote for the same in laws in the government. Because of the first Continental Congress the colonies were able to reunite because everyone had to come together in order to have their rights back.
