But the laws were harsh considering that they just repealed the stamp act. https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957588453 -Marcela]]> 2020-11-24 19:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957588453 226139 https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957588888 It wasn't a smart move for the Parliament because after seeing the responses they received from the colonists, one would think that the British would stop imposing taxes or regulations and discover a new way of receiving money to help out their debt.  But greed was what took over them and led them astray.]]> 2020-11-24 19:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957588888 Alexander Wolfe 2360611 https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957588988 No, it only increased colonial resentment.]]> 2020-11-24 19:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957588988 Alex Capet https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589045 Yes, it was their only choice at this point.]]> 2020-11-24 19:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589045 Kaitlyn https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589452 Yes as it allowed more power and control over the colonies and asserted dominance and superiority]]> 2020-11-24 19:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589452 From a British perspective I do not think it was smart. What they should have done instead was negotiate with the colonies. Negotiate how much power they should have over them and what they will provide to the colonies. This way the colonies are happy and they still have power over them. https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589664 2020-11-24 19:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589664 yes i think this was smart from a british perspective as it showed they can control the colonies and continue making laws https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589898 2020-11-24 19:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589898 Jack Leard https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589979 It was not smart of them because it would only make the colonists more angry at them. ]]> 2020-11-24 19:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957589979 6085651 https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957590099 yeah because it asserted British rule over the colonies, who were being defiant]]> 2020-11-24 19:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957590099 Sebastian Hulson-Vogelmann https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957590107 No because it would make the colonies weary of any act that was passed for them especially since it was just after the stamp act.]]> 2020-11-24 19:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957590107 Sophia Carroll https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957590686 No, because they were trying to show that they could control the colonies but based on previous colonial responses that wasn't going to go over well. ]]> 2020-11-24 19:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957590686 Yes, they would still have power therefore could pass any act. https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957590751 2020-11-24 19:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957590751 https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957592310 It was not a smart move for the Parliment ]]> 2020-11-24 19:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957592310 226112 https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957592421 Yes, because it asserted their dominance over the colonies and established their relationship.]]> 2020-11-24 19:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957592421 no 226078 https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957619457 2020-11-24 19:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/i4ywpdxdk6pcybp6/wish/957619457
