Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Conciliatory Propositions were an appeal by the British government to colonial moderates, aimed at resolving the increasing tensions between Britain and the American colonies. The proposition offered a range of concessions to the colonists, including the ability to tax themselves under British supervision, with the hope that the moderates would help resolve the conflict. However, the proposition was ultimately unsuccessful, as the colonists rejected it, and the tensions continued to grow.
