How are countries’ economies similar, even if they have access to different resources and are in different locations? They all must answer the questions of what to produce and how to produce it based on the resources they have.
They all use the same method or share the same beliefs when making decisions about what to manufacture.
They all must produce a certain number of different products to have a successful economy.
They all must achieve a certain ratio of goods produced compared to goods purchased to make their economies work.

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.
