Question: Why did Massachusetts raise taxes on citizens, and what about the currency of the time made it difficult for citizens to pay these taxes?

The reason why Massachusetts raised taxes on citizens was because they wanted to pay off the state's debts. The challenge that they faces in terms of the rules of currency for citizens to pay these taxes was that they are requiring gold and silver as payments rather than goods, produce, and paper currency.
