Correct. The answer is c. In this section of the chapter, the author’s main point is that Britain’s efforts to fund its war debts by imposing new taxes on the American colonies failed miserably. The Americans, who believed that the Sugar and Stamp Acts threatened their traditional rights as British subjects, fiercely resisted the new policies.

Correct. The answer is d. The author shows that colonists rejected the Stamp Act because they perceived it as a violation of their rights as British citizens by discussing the Virginia Resolves. In this document, Patrick Henry articulated the position that the act violated the colonists' rights and that it was invalid. Newspapers in colonies outside Virginia printed the document, stirring up opposition to the Stamp Act throughout North America.

Correct. The answer is b. The author points to the Stamp Act Congress, a meeting of twenty-seven delegates representing nine colonial assemblies, as evidence that the American colonies began to cooperate politically during the course of their resistance to the Stamp Act. She argues that the Stamp Act Congress showed the radical potential of intercolonial political action and contributed to the repeal of the Stamp Act.

Correct. The answer is b. To prove her point that the British Parliament was unwilling to concede its legal right to tax the colonies, the author uses the example of the Declaratory Act. This act, issued by the Parliament in March 1766, asserted Parliament’s right to legislate for the colonies “in all cases whatsoever.”
