PLEASE I NEED HELP!! Text:
Committees of Correspondence were the American colonies' first institution [organization] for maintaining communication with one another. They were organized in the decade before the Revolution, when the deteriorating [worsening] relationship with Great Britain made it increasingly important for the colonies to share ideas and information. In 1764, Boston formed the earliest Committee of Correspondence, writing to other colonies to encourage united opposition to Britain's recent stiffening [increasing the strictness] of customs [tax] enforcement and prohibition of American paper money. The following year New York formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the Stamp Act. This correspondence led to the holding of the Stamp Act Congress in New York City. Nine of the colonies sent representatives, but no permanent intercolonial [spanning across colonies] structure was established. In 1772, a new Boston Committee of Correspondence was organized, this time to communicate with all the towns in the province, as well as with "the World," about the recent announcement that Massachusetts' governor and judges would hereafter be paid by--and accountable to--the Crown [the King of England] rather than the colonial legislature. More than half of Massachusetts’ 260 towns formed committees and replied to Boston's communications.
In March 1773, the Virginia House of Burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a standing committee for intercolonial correspondence. Within a year, nearly all had joined the network, and more committees were formed at the town and county levels. The exchanges that followed helped build a sense of solidarity [unity], as common grievances [complaints] were discussed and common responses agreed upon. When the First Continental Congress was held in September 1774, it represented the logical evolution [development] of the intercolonial communication that had begun with the Committees of Correspondence.

the correct answer is a) he thought the government’s military action was a mistake.

the whiskey rebellion was a tax protest in the us that started in 1791 and ended in 1974. it has this name because the whiskey tax was the first tax that was imposed on a domestic product by the new federal government.

jefferson was against the government’s military action because he believed that the purpose of the government was to protect the unalienable rights of its citizens and that these rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and he thought that people had the constitutional right to rebel. he has said: “the first error was to pass it (the whiskey tax); the second was to enforce it; and the third, to make it the means of splitting this union.”
