Answer:
A. The formation of new political parties
Explanation: Debates over the role of the federal government, such as the constitutionality of the Bank of the United States, reflected one of the clear divisions between the emerging Democratic Party and the Whig Party in the 1820s and 1830s.
Answer:
D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself
Explanation:
On May 10, 1773, the British Parliament passed the <u>Tea Act</u>. This act allowed British companies to ship tea to the colonies without duties, but the colonists still had to pay a tax on tea.
They were outraged at this display of "taxation without representation", so they tried to boycott the tea and force the ships to return to Britain. This didn't work, so they moved onto their next plan: <u>The Boston Tea Party.</u> On December 10, 1773, a group known as the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves and boarded the ship. They threw thousands of pounds of British tea into the Boston Harbor.
The British found out and they were angry and shocked. They realized the colonies were out of control, so they passed the <u>Coercive/Intolerable Acts.</u> These:
- Closed the Boston Harbor
- Placed the colony under direct British control
- Prevented trials of British officials from occurring in the colonies
- Required British soldiers to be quartered at the colonists' expense
The correct answer is D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself. The colony had some power, but it was extremely limited.
