Question

hey, king: get off our backs! name: a. protest! the colonists expressed their outrage in many ways. but which kinds of protest would be most effective at convincing great britain to repeal the stamp act? (it did repeal the act in 1766.)

Explanation:

• Force the stamp officer to resign: Effective. Removing officials made the Act hard to enforce.
• Destroy the property of government officials who support the Stamp Act: Not effective. Violent destruction could harden British resolve.
• Force the governor to promise he won't have anything to do with the stamps: Effective. Local non - cooperation weakened the Act's implementation.
• Refuse to sell anything sent from Great Britain: Effective. Another economic boycott measure.
• Burn the governor in effigy: Not effective. Symbolic but less impactful on policy.
• Refuse to use the stamps: Effective. Direct non - compliance made the Act unworkable.
• Protest in the streets: Effective. Public shows of discontent raised awareness.
