Critical Thinking:
42. Explain the phrase “No taxation without representation.” The colonists were not being represented in
Parliament. They did not have a voice in their government.
43. Why did Parliament pass the Proclamation of 1763? Parliament could not afford to pay for British troops
stationed in the American colonies. They acted to protect the colonists from Native Americans by not allowing
them to settle west of the Appalachian Mountains.
44. Explain 3 specific ways colonists reacted to the new economic policies (taxes) passed by Parliament. The
colonists smuggled goods in to the country illegally, boycotted all British goods, and circulated propaganda
(Boston Massacre engraving) throughout the colonies to gain support for American Independence.
45. Place the following in chronologic order, beginning with the earliest: Townshend Act, Boston Tea Party,
Sugar Act, Intolerable Acts, and Tea Act.
