Answer 1

The statement about colonists' objection to taxation is true; they were not opposed to taxes in principle but wanted a say in how tax money was applied, adhering to the belief of 'no taxation without representation'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement, "The colonists did not necessarily object to the principle of taxation, but rather how the tax money would be applied." is true. The American colonists were particularly concerned with the lack of representation in the British Parliament, which made decisions affecting the colonies without their input. This sentiment was encapsulated in the popular phrase "no taxation without representation". The colonists were willing to pay taxes, but they wanted a say in how their tax money was being used and the laws that affected them directly.
