The idea for the removal of Native Americans was first brought up by Thomas Jefferson, who wanted the natives to willingly leave the colonies. The act gave Jackson the authority to offer the native nation's land west of the Mississippi in exchange for their eastern lands. It also provided money for the law to be carried out. When some tribes refused to sign the treaties, they used physical force to remove them, hence the Trail of Tears.

I know this is old, but the correct answer is D. The answer is part of the jury deliberation.
The most important post war tax was the stamp act of 1765, causing everything that was made to have a stamp, confirming that the tax had been paid but was repealed because the colonists didn’t like it. More acts were made to raise revenue but colonists weren’t happy either. Lawyer John Dickinson argued that “taxation without representation was not allowed”. In return, the tea act was made to tax tea imported. The colonists thought the best way to protest the act was to turn away ships carrying tea. And in places like New York, they were able to do so, but not in Boston because the governor of Massachusetts did not allow for ships to be turned away. So the colonists dumped all the tea, also known as the Boston tea party. The British were angry at the Americans so they closed the harbor, town meetings were banned, etc. this increased resistance from both Massachusetts and Britain to which led the revolutionary war. Then shortly after, congress voted to separate from Great Britain and then two days later the declaration or independence was signed :)
