Answer 1

When abusing power, conflict will OF COURSE be created.No one likes to be taken advantage of.Especially cases like the molasses act.Under the Molasses Act colonial merchants had been required to pay a tax of six pence per gallon on the importation of foreign molasses.But because this was unjust to them, they mostly evaded the taxes and undercut the intention of the tax.This requirement was repealed because it greatly affected the significant colonial molasses trade.Then if we take a look at the cause of the american revolution, you'll see that it was caused by the British attempts to assert greater control over colonial affairs.Those colonies rebelled of course and started a war.When power is given to the wrong person or group of people it can cause great chaos.No ones likes to be controlled unfairly, so why would people not rebel against someone using their power?

Answer 2

Abuse in power and oppression, unquestionably, leads to conflict. During the Currency Act of 1764, Great Britain started taxing all paper goods, and other everyday goods to the colonies. These taxes were unjust and not fair. Britain abused their power by forcing these taxes upon them without consent and/or their say in it. This leads to debt and angry people, which leads to riots and destruction. Upon that, the people took sides, some were ok with these acts, believing that they were fair. This created more conflict between the people of the colonies. Wars break out because of disagreements, which can also lead to more debt and anger. This cruel oppression also emerged the famous, well-known saying of "No Taxation without Representation". This meant that they didn't want to be taxed without representation in the British parliament. These are one of many ways that abuse in power and oppression leads to conflict.
