Question

Part of the American colonists' anger towards Britain prior to the American Revolution stemmed from the fact that A) colonists were against paying taxes in any form, regardless of the source of that taxation. B) Britain had not enforced trade policies for a long time, and then began enforcing them to support the Seven Years' War. C) Parliament passed a law requiring all male colonists to join local militias to defend against the threat of Indian attacks. D) King George III forced the removal of Indians from their land, despite the wishes of the colonists and the British Parliament.

Answer 1

The colonists B)' resentment stemmed from Britain's post-Seven Years' War policies that included taxation without representation and stricter control over colonial trade to pay war debts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American colonists' anger towards Britain prior to the American Revolution was significantly fueled by Britain's attempts to recoup the debts incurred during the Seven Years' War through the imposition of new taxes and stricter regulation of colonial trade.

After the war, the British government enforced policies intended to raise revenue which included direct taxation, something the colonists fundamentally opposed. This was because the colonists believed they should not face taxation without direct representation in Parliament—a principle that was enshrined in documents like the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights.

It's the aspect of taxation without representation and the enforcement of these trade and taxation policies that fuelled the discontent that led to the American Revolution.
