Answer 1

Use the passage to answer the following question:

the British Colonies Asserted and Proved (1763), an excerpt
by James Otis
I can see no reason to doubt but the imposition of taxes, whether on trade, or on land, or houses, or ships, on real or personal, fixed ort floating property, in the colonies is absolutely irreconcilable with the rights of the colonists as British subjects and as men. I say men, for in a state of nature no man can take my property from me without my consent: if he does, he deprives me of my liberty and makes me a slave.

Who is the main audience Otis is writing to in this excerpt?

the members of the Constitutional Convention

those colonists already joined in the fight for freedom

those colonists who might still feel loyal to the crown

the British aristocracy charged with governing the colonies
