Allie Oneill · Answer 2

The correct answer is A. England was in desperate need of funds to keep its sprawling empire intact. The British began to restrict control over the colonies after 1763, because the British went to war with the French and won but at a cost. The parliament saw the colonies of a place with money, which was very necessary. Therefore the parliament decided to increase taxes on the colonies.
