Who had resigned causing Grenville to accept the new role of Leader of the Commons in 1761?
William Pitt
Lord Bute
Lord Rockingham
King George III
Answer
William Pitt resigned as Leader of the Commons in 1761, which caused Grenville to accept the new role. This change in leadership was significant because it meant that Grenville was now in charge of the government and would be responsible for making decisions on behalf of the king. Pitt's resignation also marked the beginning of a period of political instability in Britain, which would eventually lead to the American Revolution.
