6. What would you do?
Exit slip (written individually): Acting as a British citizen, propose to your royal monarch (moi—just call me “Your Highness”) how Britain should try to solve its problems resulting from victory from the French & Indian War?

7. The French and Indian War: The War’s Aftermath
Solution (s)?
Proclamation Line, 1763
Revenue (or revenue saving) Acts
Sugar Act, 1764
Quartering Act, 1765
Stamp Act, 1765
Declaratory Act, 1766
But who’s in charge in Britain?
