Answer 2

The correct answer is D. By raising taxes in the American colonies without granting the colonies any representation in Parliament

Step-by-step explanation

The Stamp Act was a British law promulgated in the American colonies in 1765, that imposed taxes to the colonies and required all documents and printed materials to be made in the sealed paper brought from London. On the other hand, the Tea Act was a law of the British parliament to benefit the British East India Company while imposing taxes to colonies and ending with the trade of tea from other sources. Finally, the Intolerable Acts was a British law that encompasses coercive and punitive laws towards Native Americans and settlers especially as they did not accept the taxes imposed. These three laws were strongly opposed by the colonies not only because high taxes and punishments were imposed, but because they had requested to have positions in the parliament and this was denied, due to this, people in the colonies began revolting against the British rule and this led to the independence of the United States. So, the correct answer is D. By raising taxes in the American colonies without granting the colonies any representation in Parliament.
