James thought he could unite his holdings in Wales, England, Scotland, and Ireland by  declaring himself King of Great Britain.

Explanation:

When Elizabeth I died childless in 1603, King James VI of Scotland became the king of England, taking over the throne. Despite the religious, ethnic, or economic disparities between the two nations, James was resolved to keep the kingdom under his reign.

In a bold move to further cement his authority over the European nation, he made himself "King of Great Britain". This move was his plan to try to unite the kingdoms of Wales, England, Scotland, and Ireland, so that they will all be one and under his power. His plan was 'one place, one king'.  

i thing that the best option is a.they feared it would cause a second economic collapse.

one of the most negatives aspects of the new deal was that it upset the balanced federal budget and led to a huge deficit for the nation while at the same time failed to end increasing unemployment. roosevelt's program, based on keynesian theories of economics, called for massive government spending to stimulate the economy. as he   failed to do this with large tax increases; large sums of money were borrowed to fund new deal programs. when the economy showed some improvement, roosevelt was concerned about inflation, and ordered cuts in government spending. unfortunately, he did so at a time when the new social security tax had cut people's disposable income. businesses were too afraid of spending, and the economy in 1937 was in worse shape than in 1929. at the end of that year, two million people were unemployed.
