Answer 1

Answer:

The king has imposed taxes without consent from the colonists.

Answer 2

• Colonies are territory that is under partial or full control of the alien government.

• Colonies should break free means that the colonies should escape from the imprisonment of colonial rule.

• The three statements that help Jefferson advance his argument are:

1. The king-imposed taxes without the consent of the colonists.

2. King refused to pass laws that would help colonists.

3. Colonists would have more rights under a different monarchy.

• In the first statement, the king-imposed taxes without the consent of colonists (members of the colony). It indicates. If the king impose a tax without the consent of others or when he wants this would increase the cost of living for the colonist. in a monarchy, the ruler is not accountable to anyone and therefore generally don't consider the people of the country thus, democratic government should be set up as they are accountable to people and could be dethroned if they didn't satisfy people's need.

• In the second statement, the king refuses to pass the law that was for the welfare of the colonists. In democratic government laws are passed for the welfare of the people are they are appointed by the people and could be dethroned if the government failed to comply whereas in the colonial government is not under obligation to think about the welfare he thinks about himself and his home country.

• the third statement is true. Right plays an important role for an individual be it alien or citizen. It helps in the development of the individual. under colonial rule, the government thinks about themselves and their home country and not about the colonist. and therefore the colonist lacks essential and basic rights such as the right to freedom and expression, the right to life, the right to liberty, and so on.
