Final answer:
The statement regarding the colonists' stance on taxation, asserting they disputed the usage of tax money rather than the concept of taxation, is true. Proprietors in a proprietary colony had responsibilities beyond just collecting profits, making the claim about proprietors having only financial interests false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question related to the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) and HST remittance is not relevant to the historical context. Instead, the historical context refers to the colonists' viewpoint on taxation around the time leading up to the American Revolution.
The statement that the colonists did not necessarily object to the principle of taxation, but rather to how the tax money would be applied, is true. The colonists were mainly concerned with 'no taxation without representation', which meant they wanted a say in how their taxes were used and to be represented in the Parliament that enacted those taxes. This concern was one of the catalysts for the American Revolution.
Proprietors in a proprietary colony had responsibilities beyond collecting profits, such as administering the colony, creating laws, and defending the colony. Therefore, the statement that proprietors have no responsibilities except to collect the profits is false.
