Multiple Choice

Which of the following would be NOT an acceptable use of contextualization for the prompt?

• Prior to the French and Indian War, the colonies existed in a period of Salutary Neglect in which England ignored the colonies. The French and Indian War caused Britain to increase involvement in the affairs of the American colonies. British leaders, such as George Grenville, believed that the colonists, who had been beneficiaries of the war, be required to assist in paying the debt incurred by it. This was achieved through a series of taxes imposed upon the colonists.

• “Prior to the fight for independence from 1763 to 1783, colonists were not properly enforced to follow certain laws, such as the Navigation Acts, a restriction on colonial trade. Britain’s treatment towards the colonists is described as Salutary Neglect, which contributed to a sense of freedom and rights for the colonists.”

• “As the American colonies were being constructed and an American government formed, its inhibitors began to seek independence from Great Britain. This period was called, the Enlightenment Era.”
