Chapter 5 Proper Nouns and questions (include dates) A. The American colonist, overall, had a good standard of living. Why then did the wealthy gentry lead the original push for rebellion? (pg 127) They wanted to regain their rights, that Parliament was taking away. In 1774 British troops came over, which enrages many colonists. After 1765, lower class people began to join in with the rebellions. B. In your opinion, how did the young and diverse population of the American Colonies help contribute to the American revolution? Nearly 60% of the population in the 1700s was under the age of 21, and with so many young people beginning to understand politics and their society, this large percent has a big influence on the overall thinking of the time. King George III

But, the invention of the light bulb rendered kerosene obsolete. - By 1900, the gasoline-burning internal combustion engine had beaten out its rivals as the primary means of automobile propulsion. The birth of the automobile gave a great lift to the oil industry. -John D. Rockefeller organized the Standard Oil Company of Ohio in 1870, attempting to eliminate the middlemen and knock out his competitors. By 1877, he controlled 95% of all the oil refineries in the nation. -Rockefeller grew to such a great power by eliminating his competitors.

rule of law
Rule of law prevented one person from becoming too powerful. In ancient times there were tyrants and monarchs, people who had supreme rule. These people could essentially do what they want because they were higher than the law. However, rule of law gave the lower-class citizens a chance because everyone was under the same rules. Upon examining Aristotle’s writings, Great Britain’s democratic developments, and the French Revolution, you can further see how important the rule of law is.
