My position is this, taxation and representation are inseparable; for whatever is a man's own, is absolutely his own; no man has a right to take it from him without his consent, either expressed by himself or representative; whoever attempts to do it, attempts an injury; whoever does it, commits a robbery; he destroys the distinction between liberty and slavery. - British Prime Minister George Grenville

How might Grenville have attempted to resolve the problem of taxing the colonists, based on the views in the excerpt?

A.Impose higher taxes in Britain to meet colonial expenses.

B.Arrange for colonial representation in British Parliament.

C.Limit the powers of representative assemblies in the colonies.

D.Impose new taxes on the colonists without their consent.
