Answer:
The British Empire began to take shape during the early 17th century, with the English settlement of North America and the smaller islands of the Caribbean, and the establishment of joint-stock companies, most notably the East India Company, to administer colonies and overseas trade.
Generally speaking, for a development such as this to be considered a civilization, there must be some form of government, which regulates to a certain extent the lives of the citizens.
Answer: A. The colonies were trying to re-establish peace with Great Britain and avoid further fighting.
Explanation:
The American Colonists did not want to go to war with King George III of England and Britain at the time because they believed that the abusive acts that Parliament had imposed on them, was done without his consent and that he would come to their defence if they went directly to him.
They therefore in 1775, sent the Olive branch petition to King George to re-establish peace with Great Britain and avoid further fighting which they were sure would lead to numerous deaths as well as to avoid rebellion to the King whom they still longed to be subjects of.
When the King refused to even read the petition, it then occurred to the Colonists that Parliament was acting with royal consent which then made them angry with the King such that they blamed him for their secession in the Declaration of Independence.
b. sending troops to attack American settlements

Answer: imposing taxes on them without their approval or representation.
Explanation: King George III is considered by many to be the mentally unstable King of England from 1760-1820. The colonists were torn between loyalty to the crown and resistance because of the way he wanted to govern the affairs of the colonists and he was largely considered a tyrant.
The colonists were very angry towards king George as regards the Townshend acts which was taxation without representation as well as the taking away some of the colonists' freedom. The acts were called duties but the colonists said they were indirect taxes and were levied on imported materials like glass, lead, paint, paper and tea.
