Why did the Quartering Act of 1774 become one of the causes of the American Revolution?

History

Answer:

A.  The colonists were incensed because they had to provide free housing for British troops.

Explanation:

A or D works, and I can give you reasons why either works. However, I believe the answer should be A in this case.

Incensed by definition is "enraged", and the colonists were rightly so to be enraged. The British Parliament forced British troops to stay within the homes of the American public mostly under the guise of "protecting them from Indian attacks. However, the colonists mostly believed that they were instead there to monitor the colonist's actions, and to take away their British citizen rights. Tensions continued to escalate as more British troops poured into the Americas, and the British government failed to change their ruling. The Quartering Act was soon repealed, but it had already prompted the start of an Independence.

What events lead up to the slave trade compromise
Anna007 [38]

Essentially, it had to do with political power. Slave-holding states wanted to include slaves who were unable to cast ballots in their political representation in Congress. Non-slave states perceived this as a ruse to exert influence over the newly formed government. This topic has been covered in a lot of writing. Contrary to some who assert that shows how the founders thought about black people, they address the problem of political representation. Since they now had more representation in the halls of government than the non-slave states, many in the slave states viewed this as a victory. Most individuals who opposed slavery simply wanted to count the free people in a population, but those who supported it wanted to count slaves as well. As a result, slave owners would be represented in the Electoral College and the House of Representatives by a greater number of seats. Numerous ratios were taken into consideration, including three-fourths, half, and one-quarter. James Madison would propose the Three-Fifths Compromise after much discussion. The Three-Fifths Compromise was not accepted by all of the states, and the Articles of Confederation needed a unanimous vote. As a result, the Compromise was not ratified until the Constitutional Convention. The Three-Fifths Compromise would dramatically increase slave-owning states' political clout and representation. If the Southern states had been represented equally, 33 seats in the House of Representatives would have gone to them. However, as a result of the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Southern states did have 47 seats in the House of Representatives of the first American Congress in 1790. As a result, by accumulating enough political influence, the South would be able to take control of presidential elections.
