the correct answer is b) the american colonies were not supporting each other.

also, abigail believes that the regulations of government have been "so long slackened" that people could ignore a new government; she recognizes difficulty to establishing a new state.  

the correct answer is c) colonies were taking active steps to resist british laws.

bless you your highness
