Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Loyalist felt that they had some representation from the British

Explanation:

During the Revolutionary War or American War of Independence from 1775 to 1783 two main groups emerged the Loyalist and the Patriots. In the case of the Patriots, they believed the colonies needed to be independent of the British as a result of multiple violations to the constitutional rights by the British crown, imposed taxes and lack of representation of their interests. On the other hand, the Loyalist were loyal to the British crown as they believed it represented a legitimate government, have family or business links with Britain and considered being against the crown was morally wrong. This implies Loyalist considered the British crown and Parliament represented them and were necessary for the colonies of America. While Patriots were against this idea and wanted to be independent of Britain.
