Answer:

All statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

During colonial America's time, England had a great economic expense with the involvement in wars established with France and India. This created a major deficit in the English economy that decided that this would be solved by increasing the taxes charged to the 13 colonies, since the war was in the name of protecting these territories. However, no English colony had representation in the British parliament, which prevented the interests of the colonies from being defended. In this case, the colonists refused to pay taxes to a government that did not consider them and did not represent them.

Even with the colonists' rule, taxes were levied, which generated a great revolt in America and influenced the movements that will lead the American Revolution.
