Answer

B
It led to an increased sense of independence from Britain.
C
It led to greater trade restrictions with other European nations.
D
It led to political chaos, weakening the sense of an American identity.

Explanation

The Glorious Revolution of 1688 challenged the idea that a monarch could rule without limits and helped strengthen English traditions of representative government and individual rights. Colonists increasingly used those ideas to defend their own assemblies and local decision-making, building a greater sense of independence from Britain. Therefore, the best answer is B, “It led to an increased sense of independence from Britain.”
