The correct answer is C) To achieve the rights they felt the British had been denying them.
The American Revolution was a culmination of several different actions taken by the British government that the American colonists felt were unfair. One example of this would be the taxes implemented by the British parliament without the consent of the American colonists. Another injustice was the shutting down of places like the Boston Harbor after the Boston Tea Party. Lastly, the forced quartering (housing) of British soldiers was another violation of colonists rights, as they felt it was unfair that the British soldiers could demand housing whenever they wanted and the colonists had to oblige.
The primary goal of the people who began the American Revolution was to achieve the rights they felt the British had been denying them. This implies the correct answer is C.
The declaration of independent clearly shows the goals of the American Revolution. Americans were not happy with the way they are being treated by Britain
During the French and Indian War, the colonists were of the view that the responsibility of the British government was to ensure their rights was protected but after the war ended the British government introduced new tax law and the Americans felt the newly introduced tax was flagrantly in violation of their right, so they became very unhappy.
The colonists were very unhappy with the British because they have no representative in the British parliament and saw no reason why the tax law should be introduced.
Colonists were also afraid of the writs of assistance that was granted to the officials of the British government. The rights implied that the officials can search the colony if cases of smuggling was suspected. The colonists felt the right given to the British officials also violated their rights
To the colonists, all the actions of the British government were not in any way protecting their rights. However, this caused hostilities between the British and the colonists and also led to the American Revolution
