Brief Explanations

To solve this matching problem, we analyze the historical context of each action and response:

  1. For the first "Action" box (top - left light blue):
  • The response is "Parliament passes the Declaratory Act, which states that only Parliament can tax the colonists." The action that leads to this is "Some Americans argue that only colonial assemblies can tax colonists." because the colonists' argument about colonial assemblies' taxing power prompted Parliament to assert its own taxing authority via the Declaratory Act.
  1. For the second "Action" box (bottom - left light blue above the Tea Act):
  • The response is "Parliament passes the Townshend Acts, which place new taxes on goods imported into the colonies." The action that leads to this is "Members of Parliament demand that the British government raise more revenue." as the demand for more revenue led to the Townshend Acts to generate income from the colonies.
  1. For the "Response" box (light blue) corresponding to the Tea Act:
  • The action is "Colonists dump tea from the British East India Company into Boston Harbor." because the Tea Act led to the Boston Tea Party (colonists dumping tea), and then Parliament's response would be related, but in this case, the Tea Act action (Parliament passing Tea Act) leads to the colonists' response of dumping tea, and then Parliament's Coercive Acts. Wait, actually, the Tea Act (action: Parliament passes Tea Act) leads to the colonists' response of dumping tea (which would be the action for the Coercive Acts response). Let's re - align:
  • The Tea Act (action: Parliament passes the Tea Act, which allows the British East India Company to send its tea to the colonies without paying a tax) leads to the colonists' action of dumping tea ( "Colonists dump tea from the British East India Company into Boston Harbor"). Then, the response to the colonists' tea - dumping action is "Parliament passes the Coercive Acts, including acts to close the port of Boston and limit the power of the Massachusetts colonial government."
  • The action "The Massachusetts assembly uses its power in ways opposed by the British government" leads to the response "Parliament passes the Coercive Acts, including acts to close the port of Boston and limit the power of the Massachusetts colonial government."? No, the Coercive Acts were a response to the Boston Tea Party and the Massachusetts assembly's actions? Wait, the Massachusetts assembly's opposition to British rule (action: "The Massachusetts assembly uses its power in ways opposed by the British government") would lead to Parliament limiting the Massachusetts colonial government's power, which is part of the Coercive Acts. So:
  • Action: "Some Americans argue that only colonial assemblies can tax colonists" → Response: "Parliament passes the Declaratory Act..."
  • Action: "Members of Parliament demand that the British government raise more revenue" → Response: "Parliament passes the Townshend Acts..."
  • Action: "Parliament passes the Tea Act..." → Response: "Colonists dump tea from the British East India Company into Boston Harbor" (this is the colonists' response to the Tea Act, and then this colonists' action is the action for the next response)
  • Action: "Colonists dump tea from the British East India Company into Boston Harbor" → Response: "Parliament passes the Coercive Acts..."
  • Action: "The Massachusetts assembly uses its power in ways opposed by the British government" → Response: "Parliament passes the Coercive Acts..." (since the Coercive Acts also limited the Massa…

Answer:

  1. Top - left light blue "Action" box: Match with "Some Americans argue that only colonial assemblies can tax colonists"
  2. Bottom - left light blue "Action" box (above Tea Act): Match with "Members of Parliament demand that the British government raise more revenue"
  3. Light blue "Response" box (corresponding to Tea Act): Match with "Colonists dump tea from the British East India Company into Boston Harbor"
  4. Bottom - left light blue "Action" box (below Tea Act): Match with "The Massachusetts assembly uses its power in ways opposed by the British government" (to get the Coercive Acts response)
