James Hendrix · Answer 1

He suggests that the British will continue growing in

strength.

Explanation:

Patrick Henry responded to calls that the colonies were not strong enough to fight the British by stating that if the colonies wait to become stronger, when will that be.

He further was of the opinion that waiting will make the colonies weaker and the British stronger the more the British raise troops against the colonists an the colonies stand aside doing nothing.

Aaron Campos · Answer 2

He suggests that the British will continue growing in strength.

Explanation:

Henry says that the British did not expect the country to have enough strength for a conflict to be established, on the contrary, he said that the British will continue to grow in strength more and more aggressively and that this will end in the total control of the colonists by the British.
