Did the committees of observation and inspection enjoy widespread popular support? why or why not?

a. yes, because all men eligible to vote for delegates of the lower house of the colonial assemblies were allowed to elect committee members at the local level.

b. no, because the election of many radicals to these committees caused further divisions within the resistance movement.

c. yes, because only well-known men who had previously been elected to positions of authority were chosen as committee members.

d. no, because the method of election ensured that only members of the elite would be elected to these committees.
