Question

what was a main idea behind the american revolutionary war? (1 point)
that people should not be taxed
that people should not have to supply and house troops
that people can migrate to the frontier
that people give government its power

Explanation:

The American Revolutionary War was fought over the idea of self - governance. The colonists believed that the government's power should come from the people (consent of the governed), which was a key Enlightenment - influenced concept. The other options do not represent the main ideological driver of the war. "That people should not be taxed" was a grievance (like with the Stamp Act) but not the overarching main idea. "That people should not have to supply and house troops" (Quartering Acts) was also a grievance. "That people can migrate to the frontier" was more about the Proclamation of 1763 being a grievance in terms of restricting movement, but not the core ideological cause. The core was the people's right to give the government its power (popular sovereignty).

Answer:

that people give government its power
