Question

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 oppressive. Option 1 is British - like, 2 is positive (unlikely as colonists were upset), 4 is boycott (but Committees of Correspondence focused on arguing against injustice, not just boycott). Option 3 argues the policies are unjust and threaten liberty, matching their stance.

Answer:

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