Answer explanation
John Locke was a key figure in the Enlightenment, a period that emphasized reason and individualism. His ideas greatly influenced the growth of these concepts in the colonies. The option 'Enlightenment, Religion' fits the question as it correctly identifies Locke's philosophical alignment and the impact he had on the colonies. However, the term 'Religion' is not entirely accurate as Locke's influence was more on the growth of Enlightenment ideals rather than religion.

Answer explanation
The French and Indian War left England in a significant amount of debt. To recover from this financial crisis, England decided to raise taxation in the colonies. This was done to generate revenue to pay off the war debts. The colonies were seen as beneficiaries of the war, so it was deemed fair that they should contribute to the war costs.

This law was enacted to avoid conflicts with Native Americans who lived in those territories.
