Answer 1

The attempts by the British government to control and regulate the colonies during the American Revolution proves that there are unintended consequences that result from one's actions.

• Britain waged a ferocious war against the colonists for daring to declare their independence from her rule.  Instead of entering into dialogue with the colonies, Britain took to war.

• Britain did this without taking into account the consequences of her actions.  She did not even factor into the equation her ability to prosecute successfully this unjust war against her own people.

• The aims of the British actions against the colonists did not produce the intended results.  American won her independence, defeating Great Britain in the war.  Britain started losing its hegemony from that moment.  Other attempts to colonize other lands were heavily resisted.

Thus, it is imperative to analyze and assess the consequences of leadership actions before taking decisions.
