Answer:

The Proclamation of 1763

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the Proclamation of 1763 was written by the British to place control over the colonists to keep them from encroaching on the native American's lands. The colonists viewed this a way for the British crown to control them and saw it as a break in the social contract between Britian and the Colonies.
