Final answer:

Employees of tax-supported services like public libraries are not pro-profit employees; this is true. The colonists cared about how tax money was used, not the taxation itself, and proprietors in colonies had responsibilities beyond collecting profits.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that since a public library is usually a tax-supported service, the idea of being a pro-profit employee does not apply to that type of employee can be considered true. Public libraries are generally funded by taxes collected from the public and are intended to serve the community rather than generate profit. Therefore, employees at public libraries are typically not working for profit but rather to provide a service to society.

Regarding taxation, the colonists were indeed more concerned with how the tax money would be applied rather than the principle of taxation itself, hence Exercise 7.3.1 would be true. In proprietary colonies, it is false that the Proprietors have no responsibilities except to collect the profits, as outlined in Exercise 5.2.2; proprietors had various duties including the governance and administration of their colonies.
