Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cause:The Proclamation of 1763
A
Effect:The British and French competed for the Ohio Valley.
B
Effect:It ended the French and Indian War.
C
Effect:Parliament passed the Sugar Act.
D
Effect:Colonists were angered. They believed the British government had no right to keep them off western lands.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This angered the colonists. They felt the Proclamation was a plot to keep them under the strict control of England and that the British only wanted them east of the mountains so they could keep an eye on them. As a result, colonists rebelled against this law just like they did with the mercantile laws.

Detailed explanation-2: -The proclamation provided that all lands west of the heads of all rivers which flowed into the Atlantic Ocean from the west or northwest were off-limits to the colonists. This excluded the rich Ohio Valley and all territory from the Ohio to the Mississippi rivers from settlement.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Proclamation of 1763 was a law prohibiting the colonists to move west of the Appalachian Mountains. Cause: England was still in debt from the French and Indian War and didn’t want to start another war. Effect: Colonists became angry and moved west anyway because owning land was important (you needed it to be vote).
