Explanation:

• Question 6: The Intolerable Acts (also known as the Coercive Acts) were a series of punitive measures by the British government against the colonies. These acts directly led to the calling of the First Continental Congress as the colonies sought a unified response to British oppression. The Stamp Act Congress was earlier and focused on the Stamp Act. The Boston Tea Party was a protest that preceded the Intolerable Acts but was not the most direct cause. The Stamp Act was also an earlier grievance.
• Question 7: The phrase “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” is a well - known part of the Declaration of Independence. The Introduction to the Metaphysics of Morals by Kant, the Second Treatise on Government by Locke, and the Preamble to the US Constitution do not contain this specific phrase in the context of the rights of the people in the way the Declaration of Independence does.

Answer:

• Question 6: A. the Intolerable Acts
• Question 7: B. The Declaration of Independence
