Final answer:

The American Revolution may not have happened if each colony had the same degree of self-government as Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American Revolution may not have happened if Britain had given each colony the degree of self-government found in Connecticut and Rhode Island. The colonies that had more self-government, such as Connecticut and Rhode Island, had less dissatisfaction with British rule compared to colonies that had less self-government. The lack of self-government in certain colonies, combined with other factors such as taxation and limited representation, contributed to the growing discontent that ultimately led to the American Revolution.

Definitely, the American Revolution was inevitable. People in all colonies wanted to delineate themselves from the Crown's unilateral rule. They yearned to determine taxation levels and other critical issues for themselves.
