Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

B. Right against taxation without representation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The English Bill of Rights of 1689 was a document written by the citizens to define the wrongdoings of the King and the rights they should respect the citizens. They wrote 13 clauses that limited the power of the Crown.

The number 4 is the clause written in the question, it clearly prohibits the imposed of taxation by the Crown without the consent of the Parliament. The Parliament represented the citizens so it would be the forbid of taxation without representation. These were then asserted by the American colonist in different taxations the English attempt to imposed on them. Like the Stam Act.
