Question

What did the Quartering Act allow?

Answer 1

The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies. If the barracks were too small to house all the soldiers, then localities were to accommodate the soldiers in local inns, livery stables, ale houses, victualling houses and the houses of sellers of wine

The answer is D

Answer 2

D. It allowed British soldiers to live in colonists' homes.

Explanation:

The Quartering Act allowed British soldiers to live in the colonists' homes.

During this time, tensions were already rising between the colonists and Great Britain. The colonists felt as if Great Britain was treating them completely unfair and the main issue they had was being taxed. Even though they were being taxed, they had no representation in the British Parliament. This is also known as "taxation without representation."

When Great Britain passed the Quartering Act, it only stirred resentment more in the hearts of colonists. Now the colonists had to house British soldiers in their homes and provide for their room and board. Colonists felt as if it was an invasion of privacy and they did not want to house people they did not know, especially British soldiers.
