It provided unlimited drawn-out emergency actions of prolonged detention, arrest with no trial or review from the judiciary during World War II.  This was due to activities from nationalist rebels who might engage in alleged conspiracies while the war was being waged.

Many Indians saw it as an abuse of power because they can arrested without a warrant.

Harthal refers to strikes in workplaces where the workplace is closed by striking employees. Satyagraha is non-violent protest which what Gandhi used. I means insistence of the truth.

Although Nehru and Gandhi were always together there were times when they were at odds with each other.  The Salt March was one example because Nehru had doubts but when he saw the potential of it, he changed his mind.  Another was when he demanded a complete separation from the British and this was rejected by Gandhi.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object
svet-max [94.6K]
I would say C because the king did repeatedly abuse our rights. Like the intolerable acts for instance shut down the port of massachusetts and hurt trade. Also the quartering act the sugar act the stamp act and a few more that evntually led us to civil war with him. We peacefully sent the king a olive tree branch petition which was supposed to be a sign of peace. But he rejected it and called us in full rebellion. So we fought for ourselves and won the civil war and made friends with britain as our main trade partner.
