Answer 1

An illumination was held when the British Parliament repealed the Stamp Act.

Answer 2

The option that was NOT an example of British tyranny over the colonists is:

- An illumination was held when the British Parliament repealed the Stamp Act.

This event refers to a celebration, rather than an act of tyranny. The other options mentioned, such as the presence of a standing army, the quartering of British troops, and the use of writs of assistance, all represent instances of British tyranny over the colonists.

Answer 3

To determine which option was NOT an example of British tyranny over the colonists, we need to look for the option that does not fit with the others.

1. Britain stationed a standing army in the colonies: This was seen as an act of tyranny as the presence of a standing army in the colonies was seen as a threat to colonists' liberties and a means to enforce British control.

2. Parliament instructed colonists to quarter British troops: This was another form of British tyranny, as it forced colonists to provide shelter and supplies for British soldiers without their consent.

3. Writs of assistance allowed the British army to search for smuggled goods: This was yet another example of British tyranny. Writs of assistance were essentially search warrants that allowed British officials to search colonists' homes and businesses without specific evidence of wrongdoing, which violated their rights to privacy and protection against arbitrary searches.

4. An illumination was held when the British Parliament repealed the Stamp Act: An illumination refers to a celebratory display of lights. While this event may have been significant in terms of the Stamp Act being repealed, it does not fit with the other examples of British tyranny over the colonists. It was not an act of oppression, but rather a response to the repeal of a specific tax.

Therefore, the option "An illumination was held when the British Parliament repealed the Stamp Act" was NOT an example of British tyranny over the colonists.
