Question

Why did American colonists resent British taxes?

Select one:
a. Great Britain did not offer the American colonists any protection from the French and the Indians.
b. Taxes were so high the colonists were bankrupt and unable to pay them.
c. Americans believed that they should be taxed by their own colonial assemblies, not by Parliament.
d. American colonists were unhappy that the colonies were a source of cheap raw materials for Great Britain.

Answer 1

I would say C

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the Parliament didn't allow the Americans to have someone represent them in Britain, the Americans thought it was unfair to pay taxes to a government that didn't allow them to have a say in how they should run their country.

Answer 2

D. Americans believed that they should be taxed by their own colonial assemblies, not by parliament.
