### Assignment Directions:

Your task is to create a presentation answering the six questions below. You have creative freedom in this assignment. You may choose to create a written slide presentation, a video presentation, or an oral presentation. All these options are acceptable.

You will be graded on the content you provide and whether you address all of the following questions correctly, with evidence to support your answers:

1. What is an example of how local taxes might be used?
2. In 1913, income tax was reinstated (brought back). Why did this happen?
3. In your own opinion, why do you think it is important we pay taxes? Make sure you respond in your own words as if you are explaining to a friend.
4. Explain the events around the Boston Tea Party and how the event related to taxes.
5. When was the first time the United States enacted a temporary income tax?
6. Where does the largest segment of revenue for the Federal Government come from?

Your presentation does not have a minimum or maximum length, as long as all the questions are covered in detail with supporting evidence. You may NOT cut and paste from the lesson or any website. That is plagiarism, and your presentation will be checked for it.

Use your own words. If you conduct online research for your answers, do not copy and paste from the internet. This is a form of plagiarism and could result in a 1% on the assignment as stated in the academic honesty policy. Please write all answers using your own words.
