Question

Which British action following the French and Indian War involved the housing

of troops in colonists' homes?
A. Quartering laws
B. New taxes
C. Trade limits
D. Settlement limits

Answer 1

A. Quartering laws

Step-by-step explanation:

Quartering laws was the British action following the French and Indian War that involved the housing of troops in colonists' homes.

After the French and Indian War, Great Britain kept some of their troops stationed in the colonies in order to protect them from Native Americans that could try to attack them. This was when the Quartering Act of 1765 was created, which made it so the colonists had to house the British troops that were protecting them.

The colonists despised the Quartering Act of 1765 and thought it was unfair because they were being taxed for the army already, without any representation in the British Parliament. They also did not trust Great Britain or their troops, so they did not want them in their homes.

Answer 2

A.
Quartering was when the British government allowed troops to enter any home. The home owners kind of had to “house” the troops, if they refused then they would be punished
