Among the options given on the question the correct answer is otion A.

It Was Written By The Colonists To Ask The King To Protect Their Rights And To Tell Him They Wanted Peace. It Was Rejected By The King.

Explanation: The Olive Branch petition was a petition adopted by the continental congress to the British king which was adopted on July 5,1775 and was signed three days later.

The purpose of the petition was to avoid the war between the thirteen American colonies and the British.This petition affirmed the American loyalty to the Great Britain and asked the King George III to protect the rights of colonists. They also wanted to avoid the war by affirming the loyalty to the British king.But the  British king rejected to read the letter and declared the proclamation of rebellion and announced the American colonies as the  rebellion states.

However, this rejection led the Continental congress of the colonies to announce for their independence.

What happened to stop Texas from being its own nation?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Polk accomplished this through the annexation of Texas in 1845, the negotiation of the Oregon Treaty with Great Britain in 1846, and the conclusion of the Mexican-American War in 1848, which ended with the signing and ratification of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo in 1848.

The United States Constitution does not specifically address the secession of states and the issue was a topic of debate from after the American Revolutionary War and until the Civil War, when the Supreme Court ruled, in Texas v. White, that states cannot unilaterally secede, except through revolution or through the expressed consent of the other States.
