After that the Peace of Paris was created and the war was over. The war had many effects on the British Empire and American colonies.

The colonists were piled with Sugar Acts, Stamp Acts, Currency Acts, and even the Proclimation of 1763 which limited their expansion. The colonists started revolts, such as the Paxton Boys, and the Stamp Act revolt. The Sons of Liberty revolted on the Stamp Act by terrorizing and burning stamps. The Townshend Act and Mutiny Act was placed on the colonists yet again. The Boston Massacre broke out on March 5, 1770 between British soliders and Americans.

Centrilization power is having complete power of the upper hand and control over everything. Centrilize government is when only 1 person or a group of people have power and make the decisions. Decentralization is recieving power from the upper authority. An exmaple of centrilization is creating currency. The states can't be creating money and etc. Only the national government can create currency because it has the most power. Declaring war and taxes are centralizated examples. There are taxes everywhere and everything.(i.e State/Federal income taxes, luxury items) An example of decentralization would be education as school. The board of education has power over principals of all the schools. There are pros and cons for national education for schools.. Education and School is compared by the expectations across the board. Depending on requirments and curriculum. (i.e SATS?) Decision making is more spread out throughout decentralization.
