Question

why did loyalists oppose separation from england? select the two correct answers. (1 point) they wanted to continue to resist the intolerable acts. they feared a loss of property. they argued independence would upset france. they were worried about mob rule. they claimed the declaration of independence was not forceful enough.

Explanation:

Loyalists were those who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolution. They feared that independence would lead to a loss of property as they had economic ties to Britain and were worried about the stability of their assets in a new - independent nation. Also, they were concerned about potential mob rule in the chaos that could follow independence. Independence was not about upsetting France, and they did not oppose separation to resist the Intolerable Acts (which were a reason for the Patriots' push for independence). And the statement about the Declaration of Independence not being forceful enough was not a main reason for their opposition to separation.

Answer:

They feared a loss of property.
They were worried about mob rule.
