the upper classes were few in number

Explanation:

The Maya were a civilization that occupied areas in central America and had certain similarities to the Ancient Egyptians in Africa such as both of them building pyramids as well as their social customs and norms.

One such custom was the presence of upper classes such as nobles and priests who sat at the top of the social ladder. Their positions were hereditary in both the Maya and the Egyptian nations and they occupied top government positions.

Compared to the rest of the population, the numbers of the upper classes were few and this allowed them to maintain elite status.

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.
