Question

A letter ruling applies only to the taxpayer who asks for and obtains a letter ruling.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The colonists objected to how the tax money would be applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a. True.

The colonists did not necessarily object to the principle of taxation, but rather how the tax money would be applied. They believed that they should have a say in how their tax money was used and that they should not be taxed without representation.

For example, the colonists objected to the Stamp Act of 1765 because it imposed a direct tax on them without their consent or representation in the British government. They viewed this as a violation of their rights as English subjects.
