Territorial rights were first guaranteed through the Royal Proclamation of 1763 by which monarch?

  1. Queen Elizabeth II

  2. King Henry VIII

  3. King George III

  4. Queen Victoria

The correct answer is: King George III

The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III of England, who ruled from 1760 to 1820. This proclamation established the boundaries of the British territory in North America and recognized the rights of indigenous peoples to their land. Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Victoria, and King Henry VIII all ruled at different times and were not in power during the creation of the proclamation. Therefore, they are not the correct answer for the monarch who issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763.
