Question

The colonists felt King George was a tyrant because:

A: he forced representatives to make the long trip to England on a regular basis so they could participate in Parliament.

C: his troops kidnapped people and forced them to kill their own friends and brothers and to burn down people's property.

D: None of the choices are correct.

Answer 1

I think the answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

By interfering with the colonists' civil rights and impartial judicial procedures, King George III expanded his tyrannical rule. King George III made judges reliant on him for employment and compensation and prevented the establishment of judicial authority in the colonies. The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts in America, were passed by Parliament with the king's approval after the colonists of Massachusetts staged the Boston Tea Party in Boston Harbor in 1773. These laws closed Boston Harbor and revoked Massachusetts' historic charter. King George approved the hiring of tens of thousands of Hessian mercenaries in the early months of 1776 to help the British troops already stationed in America put down the uprising. King George's refusal to cede the colonies was a major factor in the Revolutionary War's nearly eight-year duration.
