Babs · Answer 1

power and control

The words taking, abolishing, and suspending are all action verbs. They show what the British government did to the colonies. These are the actions that eventually drove the colonies towards a Revolution. The actions are all ways in which the British government exerted it's power and control over the colonies, in what the colonies saw as unfair practices since they had no representation in the British government.
