3. This is an excerpt from a history book published in 1789 by David Ramsay, a South Carolina physician and political leader. [Until) the year 1764, the [British commercial] colonial regulations seemed to have no other object but the common good of the whole empire. Exceptions to the contrary were few and had no appearance of system. When the approach of the colonies to manhood made them more capable of resisting impositions, Great Britain changed the ancient system under which her colonies had long flourished. When policy would rather have dictated a relaxation of authority, she rose in her demands and multiplied her restraints. What caused the change in policy described by Ramsay in this excerpt? A French and Indian War B Glorious Revolution C Navigation Acts D Proclamation of 1763
