The correct answer is C) to raise money for defending the colonists' territory.

The British felt it was proper to tax the colonists in the 1760 since Britain supplied numerous troops to help fight in the French and Indian War. This war that took place in North America between 1754-1763 was one that saw the French encroaching on land that the colonists believed belonged to them. This resulted in a long and expensive war.

Even though the British were victorious in defending colonial claim, the British government accumulated a massive amount of debt. This is when they turned to the colonies, as they felt it was fair to tax them after spending so much money protecting their land from the French.

What was the civic issue during the seven year war and what effort did they put to solve that issue?
OlgaM077 [116]

The Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) was a global conflict that spanned five continents, though it was known in America as the “French and Indian War.” After years of skirmishes between England and France in North America, England officially declared war on France in 1756, setting off what Winston Churchill later called “the first world war.” While the French, British, and Spanish battled over colonies in the New World, Frederick the Great of Prussia faced off against Austria, France, Russia and Sweden. The Seven Year’s War ended with two treaties. The Treaty of Hubertusburg granted Silesia to Prussia and enhanced Frederick the Great’s Power. The Treaty of Paris between France, Spain and Great Britain drew colonial lines largely in favor of the British, an outcome that would later influence the French to intervene in the war for American Independence.

That's all I know about the Seven Years, sorry.
