Which policy was established by the Proclamation of 1763?

• A. Prohibition of alcohol
• B. Proclamation of 1763
• C. Stamp Act
• D. Intolerable Acts

Answer: (B)

The policy being tested is the restriction on where colonists could settle after the French and Indian War. The Proclamation of 1763 set a boundary along the Appalachian Mountains, keeping colonial settlers east of it and reserving lands west of the line for Native American nations. This was intended to reduce frontier conflicts and regulate expansion, creating the Proclamation Line as a clear limit on settlement. That boundary and aim are distinct from other later policies: a prohibition of alcohol came much later in U.S. history, the Stamp Act taxed paper, and the Intolerable Acts were punitive measures imposed in 1774.
