The right answer is C. Adam Smith.

Adam Smith was impressed by the new free market economy of his time. This impression was the incident that caused him to think about the principles that made the new economy so successful. For the first time, he connects the idea of economic productivity with the miraculous incentive created by self-interest. He considered the division of labor a crucial factor in the great productivity of the new economic order. This division of labor made human beings all more dependent on each other. Human beings produced very efficiently what they specialized in, but they needed to find other human beings with whom to exchange what they had in abundance with what they lacked. Self-interest pushed human beings to be productive as they were the beneficiaries of their efficiency. On the consumption side, people could count on the self-interest of the producers to offer the products they wanted.

Which of the following BEST explains who the Daughters of Liberty were and the role they played in the American Revolution?
olga2289 [7]

The correct answer is C) They were women who boycotted British goods, instead, producing the goods they needed at home.

The statement that BEST explains who the Daughters of Liberty were and the role they played in the American Revolution is "They were women who boycotted British goods, instead, producing the goods they needed at home."

All American colonists participated in the claim for liberty and independence. Men formed the Sons of Liberty. Women formed the Daughters of Liberty. This female group was formed to protest against heavy taxation from the British crown.  They were angry when the English imposed the Townshend Acts of 1767, that charged taxes for imports such as lead, tea, glass, and paper. They always supported the Patriotic cause.
