Read the following passage and then answer the question. The Greek Renaissance of the eighth century BCE marks a time of great development, including the rise of the polis, or city-state. Trade routes flourished, and an increase in population and production led to the formation of a wealthy upper class. These changes led to the replacement of typical chiefdoms with poleis. Each polis consisted of people who lived in the same area in or near an urban area. Each polis had walls that protected it from invaders, stratified social classes, and public buildings. Most poleis were governed by a king. Athens, however, was governed by the vote of the people for a time. Despite their common tongue, the poleis could be bitter rivals, as was the case with warlike Sparta and aristocratic Athens The poleis held power from 800 BCE to 500 BCE.

"this speech"? what speech are you talking about?

1. the townshend acts of 1767 “threaten the country with poverty and ruin.”

at a town meeting held at faneuil hall in boston on october 28, 1767, boston freeholders and residents discussed the implications of the brutal townshend acts levied against the colonists. the townshend acts were a set of four acts passed by the british parliament in the summer of 1767 in order to generate revenue for the crown (through duties on goods such as lead, glass, paper, and tea) as well as exert british control over the increasingly rebellious colonists.

during the oct. 28 meeting, the bostonians found:

the excessive use of foreign superfluities is the chief cause of the present distressed state of this town, as it is thereby drained of its money: which misfortune is likely to be increased by means of the late additional burthens and impositions on the trade of the province, which threaten the country with poverty and ruin.

as a result, the citizens unanimously voted to boycott all british-made goods.

it made the ground more soft which is better for the world because no one likes walking on a rocky road it hurts your feet
