Answer 2

The correct answer is D. British debt from defending the colonies in the French and Indian War

Explanation:

During the 18th century Great Britain approved a set of acts to raise taxes on the American colonies, this included the Stamp Act that regulated taxes on documents or the Townshend acts that created taxes on products including tea. This was strongly opposed by colonists because they feel the English Crown did not represent them but still imposed taxes. On the other hand, Great Britain and the English Crown justified this situation based on the French and Indian War in which Great Britain had supported colonists and therefore they believed colonist should pay the cost for their protection. Thus, Great Britain justified raising taxes base on "British debt from defending the colonies in the French and Indian War".
