This paper is a book report on the book Thirteen Clocks by Robert G. Parkinson. Please begin the book review with the following three sentences and follow the book review essay guidelines that have been uploaded.
Robert G. Parkinson’s book, Thirteen Clocks: How Race United the Colonies and Made The Declaration of Independence, suggests – as the title states – that race was the unifying factor that created the Declaration of Independence. Parkinson argues this claim through various key ideas, however, chiefly among those ideas is that the use of print gave way to the creation of a “common cause”. Specifically, Parkinson states that “there was no common cause without print.”

Hello Professor and peers, Analyze two major debates (see textbook Chapter 7, Section 7.4) by which the Constitution was created in the summer of 1787.
The articles of confederation proved themselves to be too weak to effectively guide the government of the United States. The main debate when amending the Artiles of Confederation was in regard to a strong central government, this led to a convention being held and the Constitution being drafted in 1787. During the convention there was much debate over how the framework of the national government should be developed, and many major debates were had. Below I will discuss two of the major debates focused on representation in congress, slavery, and taxation.
One debate was concerned with representation in Congress. (Corbett et. al, 2023) The main concerns where focused on who would choose the representatives (citizens or state legislatures) and how many representatives would be allowed to accurately represent each state. (Corbett et. al, 2023) This debate ended in the compromise for which developed the two houses of the state, the upper elected by state legislatures in which each state has equal number of representatives. (Corbett et. al, 2023) The lower house would consist of officials elected by the citizens and the number or representatives would be determined based on state population. (Corbett et. al, 2023)
Another debate was the question of slavery and many aspects of this were called into debate. Some states did not like the word slavery to the point they didn’t want it written into the constitution, others wanted slaves to be counted as “free inhabitants” of the state so they could be used in the population total. (Corbett et. al, 2023) Counting or not counting slaves into a population total ties back to both representation in congress but also to the laws of taxation. This debate ended in a compromise wherein only 3 out of every 5 enslaved individuals counted towards the state’s population. (Corbett et. al, 2023) This compromise not only skewed the representation for slaveholders in congress, but it also gave them a significant tax break, both of which provided them more money and power.

For this week’s discussion, I chose to analyze the cause and effect of the Stamp Act and the Boston Massacre.
The Stamp Act of 1765 was a direct tax imposed by the British Parliament on the American colonies, requiring them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used. The act was met with widespread opposition among the colonists, who argued that they should not be taxed without representation in Parliament. This led to protests, boycotts, and acts of civil disobedience across the colonies. The Stamp Act Congress was convened,uniting colonial leaders in opposing British taxation policies and laying the groundwork for future cooperation and resistance.
The Boston Massacre of 1770 was a violent confrontation between British Soldiers and a crowd of colonists in Boston, Massachusetts. Tensions had been rising between the colonists and the British authorities, particularly due to the presence of British troops in Boston and the enforcement of unpopular policies. The massacre occurred when a mob began harassing British soldiers, leading to the soldiers firing into the crowd and killing five civilians. This event further inflamed anti-British sentiment in the colonies and fueled calls for independence.
In terms of significance, while both the Stamp Act and the Boston Massacre were crucial events leading to the American Revolution, in my opinion, the Stamp Act had a more profound and far-reaching impact. The Stamp Act directly challenged the principle of colonial autonomy and sparked organized resistance and unity among the colonies. It prompted the formation of the Stamp Act Congress, which laid the groundwork for future intercolonial cooperation and resistance against British policies. Additionally, the repeal of the Stamp Act marked a significant victory for the colonists and demonstrated the power of their collective action.
On the other hand, the Boston Massacre served as a rallying cry for the. Colonists further fueled anti-British sentiment, but it did not have the same organizational impact as the Stamp Act. While it contributed to the growing tensions between the colonies and Britain, the Boston Massacre was more of a catalyst for further resistance rather than a unifying force for colonial opposition. Therefore, while both events played important roles in the lead-up to the American Revolution, the Stamp Act is considered more significant due to its broader implications and its role in galvanizing colonial resistance against British taxation and control.

Critical Review Assignment Instructions
prepare two brief review essays, each of them about 750 words (about three standard typescript pages) in length.
The purpose of this assignment is to build your critical reading and writing skills by requiring
you to isolate key ideas and arguments in scholarly essays and articles.
analysis will integrate
answers to the following questions:
1) “What is the major argument, or thesis, of each assigned text?”; and
2) “Taken together, what do these texts contribute to a reader’s understanding of the topics
and themes they address?”
Try not to approach this as a summary, an opinion piece, a personal reflection, or a research
essay based on limited sources. A useful way to think about this is that your topic is the
readings themselves, not their shared topic.
Don’t be fooled by the words “critical review”: task is neither to assess the merits of the
assigned readings nor to find something to criticize. Until you have read widely, you aren’t in
much of a position to do either, and you pretty much have to go on faith that the assigned items
have scholarly integrity and merit.
