Question

parliament wrote the english bill of rights less than 100 years before the american revolution. these rights applied in england, but not in british colonies. but american colonists still felt entitled to them as british subjects. which of the following actions would have caused colonists to believe their rights were being violated? select three. british governors required colonial legislatures to send representatives to parliament. british soldiers marched through lexington and concord to confiscate americans guns. britain imposed taxes on colonists who were not represented in parliament. britain stationed soldiers in the colonies before the american revolution.

Explanation:

1. Requiring colonial legislatures to send representatives to Parliament was seen as an over - reach as colonists had their own local governance structures and did not want to be forced into a system where they had little real power.
2. Marching to confiscate guns was a violation of the colonists' sense of security and property rights.
3. Imposing taxes on non - represented colonists went against the principle of "no taxation without representation" which was a key right the colonists felt they were entitled to as British subjects. Stationing soldiers was a point of contention but not as directly related to rights violations as the other three.

Answer:

1. British governors required colonial legislatures to send representatives to Parliament.
2. British soldiers marched through Lexington and Concord to confiscate Americans' guns.
3. Britain imposed taxes on colonists who were not represented in Parliament.
