Answer 1

The colonists did object to taxation without representation, not to the idea of taxation itself. The correct answer to the question is a. True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question regarding the colonists' views on taxation pertains to their attitude toward the power of the British government to impose taxes on them without their representation. The correct answer to the question is a. True. The colonists did not object to the principle of taxation in and of itself.

However, they strongly opposed the idea that taxes could be levied upon them by a government in which they had no direct representation.

This sentiment was famously encapsulated in the slogan 'No taxation without representation'. The objections led to significant events in American history, including the Boston Tea Party and the eventual American Revolution.
