Secondary-source context (Period 3, 1754–1800): Imperial rivalry intensified after mid-century wars as Britain sought tighter control over a growing Atlantic empire. New revenue measures, expanded customs enforcement, and debates over standing armies sharpened colonial fears that traditional English liberties were being eroded. At the same time, Enlightenment arguments about natural rights and popular sovereignty circulated through pamphlets, sermons, and colonial assemblies, encouraging many colonists to see themselves as a distinct political community. Which broader historical development most directly provides context for colonial protests against Parliament's new taxes and regulations in the 1760s?
