Verse 1 Acts 1 and Luke 24 have much overlap between them. “Without the book of Acts the story of Jesus would be incomplete. Afterall, he didn’t come merely to save individuals to get them to heaven, but to…

Society’s Responsibility In the United States of America around the time of 1760, colonists were being taxed without the say of the citizens -society-. Without society’s approval, the colonists revolted in saying that there was “taxation without representation.” Society’s responsibility at the time was to prove the king was being unfair and to overthrow him.

Tension were built between British authorities and the colonists a lot of years before the outbreak of the American Revolution. Attempts by the British government to raise income by taxing the colonies met with warmed dissent among numerous colonists, who disdained their absence of representation in Parliament and requested an indistinguishable rights from other British subjects.
