Part 3: Use Evidence to Explain Colonial Reactions
-
a. No taxation without representation.
b. Sample response: Colonists believed Parliament should not tax them because they did not elect representatives to Parliament. Accept responses that explain that colonists believed their political rights or consent were ignored.
-
a. Intolerable Acts, also called the Coercive Acts.
b. Sample response: Other colonies could fear that Britain might punish them in the same way, so they supported Massachusetts through boycotts, aid, or cooperation. Accept any accurate explanation of colonial unity or fear of British control.
Part 4: Explain How Tensions Grew
- Sample response: The Stamp Act angered colonists because it taxed everyday printed materials without colonial representation in Parliament. When colonists protested and boycotted British goods, Britain and the colonies became more distrustful of each other. Later punishment such as the Intolerable Acts made many colonists believe Britain would take away their rights, helping unite the colonies against Britain.
Scoring for item 13: Award 2 points for identifying two accurate actions or events, 2 points for accurately explaining colonial reactions, and 2 points for a clear cause-and-effect connection to growing tensions or revolution. Accept other historically accurate combinations and explanations.
