How did the french and indian war affect the british and ultimately the colonies?

Utterly changed everything.

Prior to this war the colonies were entirely dependent on Britain for security from indians and french. It is when these were defeated the colonists turned on their protectors.

Almost every thing about the US foundation myth is false.

The French believed in divine right of kings and dictated from france everything about their Canadian colonies. All positions went to nobility based entirely on court influence. The very large nobility and church did not pay tax. Only peasents paid tax. This caused the french revolution s few years later.

The british had abolished devine right of kings in 1689, had a limited form of parliamentary democracy and allowed the colonies to self govern. All british people paid tax , The richpaid most, the colonists paid least.

In the french indian war the American colonist outnumbered the french colonists 10 to 1 but most refused to fight and left the fighting to the British regulars. George Washington was an exception.

Unfortunately the American schools and museums teach a Disneyland version of the above. Anybody who challenges the false narrative is disbelieved.

i would say your answer is a)

sorry if im wrong

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.

hope this !
