APUSH LO 3.3

One direct long-term effect of the Navigation Act was that it

• promoted commercial treaties with Spain and France throughout the 1700s

• contributed to the rise of opposition that ultimately fostered the independence movement

• encouraged colonists in North America to expand trade agreements with American Indians

• led to the imposition of heavy taxes on the North American colonists in the early 1700s

The Sons of Liberty initiated the Boston Tea Party in direct response to

• the removal of British troops from Massachusetts during the French and Indian War

• Parliament’s passage of the Intolerable Acts

• British efforts to protect the East India Company from bankruptcy

• British attacks on colonial troops at Lexington and Concord

The First Continental Congress called for the Continental Association to

• identify Loyalists

• gather military supplies

• spy on British troop movements

• enforce an economic boycott of British goods

In the 1760s many English colonists in North America reacted to imperial governance by

• opposing restrictions on religious worship

• protesting a lack of representation in Parliament

• refusing to adopt the English legal system

• demanding independence from England

The American colonists’ slogan “No taxation without representation” was a rejection of

• salutary neglect

• mercantilism

• virtual representation

• classical republicanism

The Declaratory Act most immediately led to

• Parliament strengthening its approach to generating new tax revenue in the North American colonies

• major and sometimes violent conflicts emerging between the various colonial regions

• a colonial convention to call for independence from Britain

• Britain delegating greater authority to colonial assemblies

British colonists in North America objected to the Stamp Act primarily because it

• threatened the free press

• closed the colonial courts

• enriched corrupt officials

• taxed them without their consent

The primary purpose of the Stamp Act was to

• raise revenues to support British troops stationed in America

• reduce colonial consumption of foreign goods

• fund the colonial postal system

• impose a mercantilist system on the colonies

Parliament enacted the Stamp Act (1765) primarily to

• regulate trade between the colonies and European nations

• strengthen the communication network within the colonies

• raise revenue to pay for British troops in the colonies

• control population movement to the colonial backcountry

The argument between Great Britain and its American colonies during the 1760’s and 1770’s over “virtual representation” concerned

• patterns of legislative apportionment in the colonial assemblies

• Parliament’s ability to reflect colonial interests

• the lack of colonial participation in negotiating the Treaty of Paris

• the increasing use of juryless admiralty courts in the colonies
