(03.03 MC)Question refers to the excerpt below.”There are several circumstances in the situation, employments, and duties of women, in America, which require a peculiar mode of education. The early marriages of our women, by contracting the time allowed for education, renders it necessary to contract its plan, and to confine it chiefly to the more useful branches of literature. The state of property, in America, renders it necessary for the greatest part of our citizens to employ themselves, in different occupations, for the advancement of their fortunes. This cannot be done without the assistance of the female members of the community. They must be the stewards, and guardians of their husbands’ property. That education, therefore, will be most proper for our women which teaches them to discharge the duties of those offices with the most success and reputation. principal share of the instruction of children naturally devolves upon the women. It becomes us therefore to prepare them by a suitable education, for the discharge of this most important duty of mothers. The equal share that every citizen has in the liberty, and the possible share he may have in the government, of our country, make it necessary that our ladies should be qualified to a certain degree by a peculiar and suitable education, to concur in instructing their sons in the principles of liberty and government.” Source: Benjamin Rush, from Thoughts upon Female Education, 1787According to this excerpt, why was the education of women so critical to America?

They made it clear, however, that they would never again compromise with the colonists…The king and his advisors gave not an inch on the question of representation. Within a year, Parliament announced new schemes to tax the colonists.”Source: T.H. Breen, historian, “The Road to Revolution””Those accused of violating the Stamp Act would be tried in Admiralty Courts, which had no juries…The colonists protested that…it violated their right to trial by jury. Above all, however, they insisted that both acts levied taxes on them and that…Parliament had no right to tax the colonists because they had no representatives in the House of Commons.Several colonies unsuccessfully petitioned Parliament against the Sugar and Stamp Acts…What else could the colonists do? Allowing the Stamp Act to go into effect would create a precedent for new taxes, which Parliament would surely approve again and again because every tax on the Americans relieved them and their constituents of that financial burden.”Source: Pauline Maier, historian, “The American Revolution, 1763–1783” Briefly describe ONE important difference between Breen’s and Maier’s historical interpretations for the reasons behind the American colonists’ rejection of the British Parliament’s raising of taxes in the 1760s.
