Explanation:

Question 11

The Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the US Constitution) was written by James Madison. Alexander Hamilton was more involved in financial matters, John Jay was a diplomat and co - author of the Federalist Papers, and Roger Sherman was involved in the Great Compromise but not the writing of the Bill of Rights.

The Declaratory Act of 1766 stated that the British government had the complete authority to make laws that would bind the colonies. Option a is incorrect as it's not related to arrest warrants for Sam Adams. Option b is wrong because it was the opposite (the act asserted British authority over colonial law - making). Option c is incorrect as the Proclamation of 1763 was about the Ohio Valley, not the Declaratory Act.

Answer:

c. James Madison
