correct answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The American colonists expected representation in Parliament from Britain, as they believed in the principle of "no taxation without representation."

They argued that since they were being taxed by the British Parliament but had no say in its decisions, it was a violation of their rights as British subjects.

They believed that taxes imposed by a body they did not elect were a denial of their rights.
