traditions of english government influenced american colonists beliefs about how they should be ruled in what way?
o a with the expectation of representative government
b with a belief in divine right monarchy
o c with the expectation of unlimited government
d with acceptance of religious toleration

Explanation:

English government traditions, such as the Magna Carta and Parliament, emphasized representative governance. American colonists, having some experience with local assemblies (like the Virginia House of Burgesses), expected a form of representative government. Divine - right monarchy was a concept more associated with earlier European (not the evolving English, which was moving towards more limited monarchy with Parliamentary power) and was not what influenced the colonists' positive expectations. Unlimited government goes against the English traditions (like the Bill of Rights 1689 limiting royal power). Religious toleration was not a main aspect of the English government traditions that influenced the colonists' beliefs about governance structure.

Answer:

A. with the expectation of representative government
