Explanation:

For question 9, the key is the restriction on west - ward expansion. For question 10, lack of consultation and perception of control are the main factors.

Answer:

1. The Proclamation of 1763 angered some colonists because it limited their west - ward movement. It prohibited colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains, restricting their access to new lands for settlement, farming, and economic opportunities.
2. The Proclamation of 1763 caused colonists to distrust Britain because it seemed like a unilateral decision made by the British government without proper consultation of the colonists. It restricted their freedom of movement and expansion, and the presence of British troops to enforce it made colonists feel that their rights and interests were being ignored and that Britain was more concerned with controlling them than with their well - being.
