Ancient Oceanic religion was based on polytheism and animism. People believed both the spiritual and natural worlds; and expressed their beliefs with ceremonies, which usually have community manifestation, who got together to drum, dance and mourn (when a funeral was necessary). Some traditions also believed that spirits inhabited objects, animals, places or natural phenomena ( animism).
The questions were different this time. First and foremost, how would the colonist meet the military threat of the British. It was agreed that a CONTINENTAL ARMY would be created. The Congress commissioned George Washington of Virginia to be the supreme commander, who chose to serve without pay. How would supplies be paid for? The Congress authorized the printing of money. Before the leaves had turned, Congress had even appointed a standing committee to conduct relations with foreign governments, should the need ever arise to ask for help. No longer was the Congress dealing with mere grievances. It was a full-fledged governing body.

Still, in May of 1775 the majority of delegates were not seeking independence from Britain. Only radicals like John Adams were of this mindset. In fact, that July Congress approved the OLIVE BRANCH PETITION, a direct appeal to the king. The American delegates pleaded with George III to attempt peaceful resolution and declared their loyalty to the Crown. The King refused to receive this petition and instead declared the colonies to be in a state of rebellion in August. Insult turned to injury when George ordered the hiring of HESSIAN mercenaries to bring the colonists under control. Americans now felt less and less like their English brethren. How could their fellow citizens order a band of ruthless, foreign goons? The moderate voice in the Continental Congress was dealt a serious blow.
<span>As the seasons changed and hostilities continued, cries for independence grew stronger. The men in Philadelphia were now wanted for treason. They continued to govern and hope against hope that all would end well. For them, the summer of 1776 brought the point of no return — a formal declaration of independence.</span>
The answer is actually A. you see in southwest asia there are many many religions, which is why it is called the cradle of religion. so it would makes sense becuase there would be more and more holy sites if there are many many religions. Hope this helps :)
Intolerable acts were passed because the Britain were in deeply dept and thought American colonies needed to pay part of the expenses.
