Answer 1

B. Active participation in public life by property-owning citizens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Voting rights in the North American colonies were restricted to those white males who own some property. There was an ample civic space for young American adults to participate. Therefore elections were seen as an important forum to participate in speeches, celebrations, and parades. This political participation gives an essence of liberty to the colonized Americans.
