Answer:

The answer would C

Step-by-step explanation:

"After the French and Indian War, Britain needed money. As a result, the British government placed taxes on the American colonists. ... They said they had not voted on the tax (No taxation without representation). Colonists under the leadership of Samuel Adams formed the Sons of Liberty to protest the Stamp Act."

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Sons of liberty formed to lead popular protests against the Stamp Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sons of Liberty was a secret organization of American patriots that originated in the Thirteen Colonies during the American Revolution.

It consisted of an organization of American patriots that was formed in the pre-independence of British colonialism from North America. The group was formed to protect the rights of the settlers and to take to the streets protests against the taxes and usurpations made by the British government after 1766. They became known for holding the Boston Tea Party in 1773, which triggered a series of acts of intense repression by the British government, leading to a backlash by the Patriots that led directly to the American Revolutionary War in 1775.
