“The only representatives of the people of these colonies are persons chosen therein by themselves; and that no taxes ever have been, or can be constitutionally imposed on them but by their respective legislatures.”-Statement by the Stamp Act Congress, 1765 What is a valid conclusion that can be drawn from this quotation?

1. The English King should have the right to tax the colonists
2. Only the colonists’ elected representatives should have the power to levy (place)
3. The colonists should be opposed to all taxation
4. The colonial legislature should be appointed by the English King with the consent of Parliament
