1 Answer
The best answer here that describes the colonies before the 1760s is b., the colonies had assemblies that passed laws.
Explanation:
a.the colonies were united into one government
This is incorrect because the colonies were separate colonies with slightly different governments. They were not united under one government until after the American Revolution.
b.the colonies had assemblies that passed laws
This is correct because the colonies had assemblies such as the House of Burgesses and they did pass some laws.
c.the colonies had representation in Parliament
The colonies did not have true representation in Parliament. That is one of the reasons why they separated from Britain.
d.the colonies depended upon the British government
In many ways, the colonies did not depend on the British government. One of the reasons why is salutary neglect. The colonies were pretty much operating by themselves before the 1760s.
Hope this helps!
