b. False

Answer 1

The colonists objected to the application and representation of taxation, not the principle itself. The correct answer is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question focuses on whether the colonists objected to the principle of taxation or the manner in which tax money would be applied. The correct answer to the question is a. True. The colonists did not necessarily object to the idea of being taxed in itself. Rather, their objection was towards how the tax revenues were used, as well as the lack of representation in the parliament that decided these taxes. This dissent eventually culminated in the famous phrase "No taxation without representation" during the buildup to the American Revolution.
