They organized a colonial assembly to oppose it.

Answer 1

The colonial reaction to the Proclamation of 1763 can be summarized by several of the options you've provided. Specifically:

1. They thought it violated their rights. - Many colonists viewed the Proclamation as an infringement upon their rights to settle westward, especially after they had fought in the French and Indian War partly for that territory.

2. They disapproved of it. - The Proclamation was unpopular among colonists who hoped to expand into the territories west of the Appalachian Mountains.

3. They disobeyed it. - Many colonists ignored the Proclamation and continued to settle westward despite the official restrictions.

While some colonists might have seen it as a good policy meant to maintain peace with Native Americans, the overwhelming sentiment was one of discontent and opposition. Therefore, the most accurate responses reflecting colonial reactions would be that they thought it violated their rights, disapproved of it, and disobeyed it.
