Question

Which two ideas contributed to the American Revolution? The British were entitled to all the natural resources found in the colonies. Taxes were oppressive because colonies were not directly represented in Parliament. Colonial assemblies were not necessary because of Parliamentary rule. Colonial assemblies should make rules for the colonies they represent.

Answer 1

The correct answers are:

2) Taxes were oppressive because colonies were not directly represented in Parliament- The implementation of laws like the Stamp Act and Townshend Act were not well accepted by the colonists, as they had no representatives in the British parliament to voice their concerns. This is why colonists developed the phrase "no taxation without representation."

4) Colonial assemblies should make rules for the colonies they represent- Before the taxes werer implemented by the British parliament, the colonial assemblies had significant law making power in the colonies. Colonists felt that this system was effective, as they got to influence and voice their concerns on matters important to the colony.
