7 what event sparked the whiskey rebellion? (7.8.a) a a tax placed on whiskey b a law prohibiting whiskey production c a limit on how much whiskey could be exported d a law controlling how whiskey was transported

Explanation:

The Whiskey Rebellion was sparked by the excise tax on whiskey imposed by the federal government in 1791. This tax on the production of whiskey led to protests and resistance from western Pennsylvania farmers and distillers, who saw it as unfair and burdensome. Options B, C, and D do not align with the historical cause of the Whiskey Rebellion as there was no law prohibiting production, limiting exports, or controlling transportation of whiskey that sparked it; the key event was the tax on whiskey.

Answer:

A. a tax placed on whiskey
