Answer:

D. Colonists object to violations of their natural rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The government of the British can't limit the peoples natural rights since it can't be taken away so, the people object to the violations that the government is doing to their rights.

Also, sorry I'm late.

  • The answer is: Colonists objected to violations of their natural rights as a consequence of British policies that limited colonial rights.
  • In the Declaration of Independence, colonists object to violations of their natural rights made by King George, which, as stated in the Declaration, are the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". In the Declaration's draft, Thomas Jefferson listed 20 occasions in which the King violated the rights of the American colonists.
