Answer: The correct answer is "Colonists argued that since they did not elect representatives to Parliament, Parliament had no right to tax them"

If your prompt is to choose TWO of the shown options, then the other logical choice would be #3 (the colonists thought they should only be taxed the same as British citizens). This makes sense since the British were taxing the colonies but not treating them as citizens (no rights or privileges).

Step-by-step explanation:

This was the colonist's famous stand of "No taxation without representation". They argued that it went against the British constitution to force them to pay taxes without representation in Parliament.
