Question

In the 1760s and 1770s, the British Parliament passed the Stamp AC
Townshend duties, Tea Act, and Intolerable Acts. What was the impact of
these British policies?
O Indian tribes were able to keep their lands.
Colonists began to think of becoming independent.
The British government was able to pay off its debt.
The French were defeated in the French and Indian War.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Colonists began to think of becoming independent.

The policies mentioned, particularly the Stamp Act, Townshend duties, and Intolerable Acts, placed substantial economic burdens on the American colonies and increased their dissatisfaction with British rule. These policies were seen as infringements on their rights and freedom, leading to widespread protests, boycotts, and ultimately the formation of revolutionary sentiments among the colonists. The American Revolution was sparked by the colonists' desire for independence from British rule. The Tea Act and the French and Indian War are not directly related to the impact of these British policies in terms of the colonists' thinking of becoming independent.
