Final answer:
The correct answer is option a) True.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement "The Act was passed. And in order to compensate for the projected loss of revenue, a graduated income tax amendment was attached to the act." in the context of the historical events mentioned is true. When lower tariffs were implemented, the federal government had to find a way to replace the revenue that had been provided by those tariffs. This led to the creation of the 16th Amendment, which established a federal income tax.
Furthermore, the colonists' objection was not to the idea of taxation in itself, but rather to how the tax revenues would be utilized, which indicates a deeper concern about representation and control over financial decisions.
As for the Three-Fifths Compromise, it indeed addressed both representation and taxation. It determined that three-fifths of the slave population would be counted when allocating representation and when determining the level of direct taxation imposed on the states.
