Acriminal complains that he has been given a sentence that is far too severe for the crime he has committed. his lawyer argues that this goes against his rights as defined by the bill of rights. which amendment would the criminal's lawyer use to prove that his client's rights were violated, and how would he use it?

this is not a question its simply asking you to read and write a few sentences and   the question on the bottom its fairly easy, you can do this!

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.
