Question

Which of the following was one british principle of government valued by the American colonist?
1. the right to pay no tax unless it was levied by their own representatives
2. the freedom to wage violent protest if they thought it was necessary
3. the potential to have an aristocratic house in the legislature
4. the custom of having a ruling king or queen

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1. the right to pay no tax unless it was levied by their own representatives. That still applies in the United States today as only the House of Representatives can initiate any talks on taxes and determining what should and should not be taxed because the representatives represent people based on a census.
