The Prohibitory Act of 1775 was passed as a measure of retaliation by Great Britain against the general rebellion then going on in the American colonies, which became known as the American Revolutionary War (or, in the UK, the American War of Independence).
The Prohibitory Act served as an effective declaration of war by Great Britain; a blockade being an act of war under the law of nations. The colonies and Congress immediately reacted by issuing letters of marque that authorized individual American ship owners to seize British ships in a practice known as privateer; further, the act moved the American colonists more towards the option of complete independence, as the King was now declaring his "subjects" out of his protection, and levying war against them without regards to distinction as to their ultimate loyalty or their petitions for the redress of grievances.
With the contemporaneous importation by the British of bands of foreign auxiliaries into the American colonies to suppress the rebellion by sack, pillage, fire, and the sword (the infamous Hessian), and the stirring up of hostile bands of Native Americans on the frontier by the King's men to raid the colonists, it became clear, even "self-evident" to the colonists that they would neither find liberty nor security under the King's protection, and thus, they exercised certain inalienable rights, and a rebellion turned into a war of national independence.

3) we'd have much more different cities
4) some inventions might not have been invented

Answer:
hi how are you
The Missouri River would have flowed north across Canada. There would be no Hudson’s Bay. The Ohio River would not exist. Instead the “New” River of West Virginia would have flowed north to the St. Lawrence. There would be no Great Lakes.
The British colonies would have remained hemmed in along the Atlantic. There would be no easy access to the Mississippi and the interior might well have remained solidly French. If you did somehow get to the Mississippi, there would be no Missouri River to take you to the Rocky Mountains. There would be no Detroit, Chicago or Milwaukee.
you meant something like that?
The Republican minority in Congress argued that sedition laws violated
the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which protects freedom of
speech and the press.
the sedition act was intended for those intent on opposing any measure or measures of the government in additional to making it illegal for anyone to express "any false, scandalous and
malicious writing" against Congress or the president.
