Question

the colonial trend of having local governments that were increasingly independent from british control was most likely caused by a the yearning for political freedom. b widespread reading of enlightenment principles. c the practical necessity of having to care for their daily needs. d the desire to continue the importation of slaves into the american colonies.

Explanation:

The colonial trend of self-governing local bodies in British North America stemmed from the practical need for colonists to manage their daily local affairs, as British control was distant and often unresponsive to their immediate needs. Political freedom ideals and Enlightenment ideas became more influential later, while slave importation was an economic/social issue unrelated to local government autonomy.

Answer:

C. the practical necessity of having to care for their daily needs.
