Question

semester a exam
what argument did the committees of correspondence most likely make in response to british policies in 1774?
(1 point)
○ \the colonies must obey our laws and do their fair part.\
○ \finally, were making progress on proper representation.\
○ \this is a horrible abuse of justice and a threat to our liberty.\
○ \well not buy another british good until they end these taxes.\

Explanation:

The Committees of Correspondence were colonial groups opposing British policies. In 1774, British policies (like Intolerable Acts) were seen as unjust. The first option supports British laws (incorrect). The second claims progress on representation (untrue, as colonists lacked representation). The fourth is a boycott (more associated with groups like Sons of Liberty, not the argument of Committees of Correspondence). The third option reflects viewing British policies as unjust and threatening liberty, which aligns with their stance.

Answer:

C. "This is a horrible abuse of justice and a threat to our liberty."
