Answer 1

D) They wanted to control their own taxes and armies

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) they wanted to control their own taxes and armies.

The colonial assemblies reject the Albany plan because they wanted to control their own taxes and armies.

The Albany Plan of Union of 1754 wanted to put the 13 American colonies under a more effective centralized government that allowed the British crown to have more control of the colonies. Seven colonies adopted the plan but in reality, it never was implemented. What the British government really wanted was to unite the territories under one single government: the British. Of course, the colonial assemblies reject the Albany plan because they wanted to control their own taxes and armies.
