May fifth, 1789. This was when an event called the French revolution started. This event was essentially people who found their government unfair, and took it down. This lead to the death of thousands of people, a civil war amongst the people, and allowed for a tyrant known as Napoleon to take control. Fast forward to the events today; thousands of people stormed the white house raided the government because they felt it was unjust. The pattern of another countries darkest times are repeating here in the U.S. So, yes, this was a threat to our democracy, but it goes beyond that; this raid was a threat to America itself,
They mostly developed because men did most of the work. Agrarian societies required hard work and toiling out in the field while pastoralism required people to take care of numerous animals at once and these animals often needed human strength and speed.

Answer:
D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself
Explanation:
On May 10, 1773, the British Parliament passed the <u>Tea Act</u>. This act allowed British companies to ship tea to the colonies without duties, but the colonists still had to pay a tax on tea.
They were outraged at this display of "taxation without representation", so they tried to boycott the tea and force the ships to return to Britain. This didn't work, so they moved onto their next plan: <u>The Boston Tea Party.</u> On December 10, 1773, a group known as the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves and boarded the ship. They threw thousands of pounds of British tea into the Boston Harbor.
The British found out and they were angry and shocked. They realized the colonies were out of control, so they passed the <u>Coercive/Intolerable Acts.</u> These:
- Closed the Boston Harbor
- Placed the colony under direct British control
- Prevented trials of British officials from occurring in the colonies
- Required British soldiers to be quartered at the colonists' expense
The correct answer is D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself. The colony had some power, but it was extremely limited.
