The correct answer is:

B. It took a while for the Continental Congress to decide whether they were fighting the British government for repeal of its new policies toward the colonies, or for complete independence from Britain.

Explanation:

<em>The American Revolution started as a protest to British policies</em>, mainly to the <em>Stamp Act of 1765</em>, where taxes where raised without representation and <u>the colonists, who saw themselves as Englishmen</u>, fought against these taxes with the allegation that they deserved the same rights as the Englishmen that lived in Britain; and formed <em>the Continental Congress to demand respect for their rights, while being loyal to the Crown</em>.

Colonists questioned if they should remained loyal or if they should seek independence, but it was until <em>Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776 </em>(a pamphlet that exposed the reasons why the 13 Colonies should be independent from Britain) when this question gained force and the <em>Continental Congress assigned Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence</em>.

Who was the first Tudor king? How many times was King Henry VIII married? Why did Henry VIII want a divorce from Catherine of Ar
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The Tudor dynasty was the line of kings and queens of England ruled from 1485 until 1603.

Explanation:

The dynasty started with Henry Tudor after he defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field (the Wars of the Roses). Henry Tudor became King Henry VII of England.

Henry VIII married six times. The political unification and need for a healthy male heir drove him to marry several times.

Henry VIII wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon because as his first wife, she was not able to give him a son which he wanted for his future heir to the England throne.

The Act of Supremacy declared Henry VIII the head of the Church of England.

Anne of Cleves was a German princess whom Henry married for political reasons but divorced soon after.

Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn were two wives beheaded by Henry VIII accused of taking lovers.
