Answer 1

the answer is b British policies limit colonial rights

Answer 2

The correct answer is: B British policies limit colonial rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The demand of political change by the colonies took place since the British policies limited colonial rights:

• As a consequence of the debt left by the French and Indian War (1754-1763), the British charged the colonies very high taxes, which caused great dislike to the American colonies. In 1765, the Stamp Act was approved. This policy was a direct taxation on colonies for the use of commercial and legal papers, which needed to have a "stamp" on it according to the British Parliament. Moreover, in 1764, the Sugar Act, another form of revenue-raising, was passed. From the outset, this regulation aimed at raising revenue from the taxes on the trade of molasses and rum.

• To sum up, the American colonies felt angry at the fact that they didn't have any voice to speak for them in the British Parliament. And afterwards, colonies end up demanding political change.
