Question

the protests of the sons of liberty in the 1760s proved to colonists that: o stamp distributors were more popular than they had realized. o british authority would quell such riots in the future. o demonstrations could have a decisive impact on politics. o the british police force would ignore demonstrations.

Explanation:

The Sons of Liberty protests in the 1760s were significant in showing the colonists' opposition to British - imposed policies like the Stamp Act. Their actions demonstrated that they could mobilize and that their influence was greater than initially thought. This invalidates the idea that British authority could easily quell future riots, that demonstrations would have a decisive impact on politics (as immediate political change didn't occur in the way they might have hoped from just the demonstrations), and that the British police force would ignore them (as the British did respond to the protests).

Answer:

D. stamp distributors were more popular than they had realized.
