Question

Which colony provided the basis for the Declarations and Resolves?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Massachusetts

Explanation:

The Declarations and Resolves was an official document written in 1774 by the colonies in which the colonies stated a bill of rights but also expressed the objections and grievances against the Intolerable Acts that were different acts from the British Parliament in response to punish those that opposed the changes in taxation applied in 1774. The basis of this document was mainly proposed by the Massachusetts colony as it was this colony the one that opposed the taxation system and therefore the one that was directly punished by the British parliament with the Intolerable Acts, situation that led to delegates of the Massachusetts colony to meet with delegates of other colonies and create the document. Therefore, the colony that provided the basis for the Declarations and Resolvers was Massachusetts.
