Question

select all the correct answers. which two ideas contributed to the american revolution? the british were entitled to all the natural resources found in the colonies taxes were oppressive because colonies were not directly represented in parliament. colonial assemblies were not necessary because of parliamentary rule. colonial assemblies should make rules for the colonies they represent.

Explanation:

• "Taxes were oppressive because colonies were not directly represented in Parliament": This idea was a major grievance. The colonists felt that being taxed without representation (in the British Parliament) was unjust, which fueled anti - British sentiment.
• "Colonial assemblies should make rules for the colonies they represent": This concept of self - governance was in contrast to British rule. The colonists believed that their own elected assemblies (representing the colonial population) should have the power to make laws for them, rather than being overly controlled by the British.

Answer:

• Taxes were oppressive because colonies were not directly represented in Parliament.
• Colonial assemblies should make rules for the colonies they represent.
