Answer: A
Explanation: The Townshend Acts were a series of acts passed in 1767 and 1768 that placed indirect taxes on imports British goods such as glass, lead, pants, paper, and tea. These acts were also met with protests from the colonies, and the British government had to send troops to enforce the taxes.
Renaissance
The age of enlightenment began in the 1650's, so it would need to be a continuation of an era that ended around the 1650's. Since the Renaissance lasted from 1350 - 1650, that makes it the most likely answer.
During the progressive era these groups of people wanted to increase their rights and reduce discrimination since they were inspired by everything that was happening during reconstruction. There was a lot of migration into the US and they usually weren't very welcome by locals so they organized into various groups that petitioned acts and laws to be changed so as to have them included more into the fabric of society. Native Americans fought for their land while Asians mostly fought for their civil rights since they were poorly treated because of their race.
