Why did merchants in the American colonies began smuggling goods

1 answer:

8 0

The merchants in the American colonies began smuggling goods because the Navigation Act passed by Britain put an embargo, or pause on imports and severely restricted trade. The British goods were highly taxed, and the colonists were frustrated because Britain didn't give them representation in Parliament even though they were being taxed. Hope this helps! :)

The answer is A. The people must remove any government that destroys rights.

Explanation:

This section of the Declaration of Independence explains all people have basic rights and the government should respect these "these are Life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". Moreover, the text explains the power of government is given by people, and therefore people can decide over it. In this context, the paragraph supports the theme or idea people can remove or abolish government in case basic rights are violated by it (first option). Indeed, the paragraph mentions people have the right to end a government and create a new one if "any Form of Government becomes destructive".
