What do you think? Which colony protested the loudest over the Stamp and Townshend Acts, prompting a crack-down by the Crown?
I think D?
Yep, you got it! As for the other question about "justification," Ms. Sue seems to disagree with me. The Stamp Act WAS designed to impose taxes to help Britain with it's French and Indian War debt. Maybe that IS what would be considered correct.
Yay! Thank you! So the last one I did is Stamp Act?
The word "justification" is the one that I'm hung up on here, because there was no explicit "justification" for the Stamp Act, although it's intent was clear.
Ok i'll put Stamp Act. Thanks for your help :D
Okay, as I read the history, the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts were both intended to tax the colonies to help Britain pay off it's debts from the War. The Declaration did not impose any new taxes, but justified making the colonies more dependent on the Crown/British government, so I interpret that as "justification" for the taxes. It's not a word that was used at the time, but our interpretation of it in our own time.
So what is it?
The answer is D, as they said above.
