Question

For much of the early history of the American colonies, England chose a governing policy of salutary neglect. Why then would England, in the eighteenth century, tighten its governance and increase taxation? A. The structure and hierarchy of colonial governments was based upon following a strict adherence to the structure and hierarchy of government in England. Because of the political similarity, increased governance was an easy transition. B. When England realized that the governing styles of other colonial empires, such as Spain and France, flourished because of tight political control, it chose to adopt a similar style of rule. C. Conflicts, such as the French and Indian War, increased English costs for maintaining the American colonies. Because of this, it seemed only natural that it would be the colonists who, through increased taxation, financially covered those costs. D. As King George III came to power in England, he enacted new reforms and policies, namely toward the colonies. These policies were a direct result of his connection to his Catholic faith.
