Answer 2

whats is taxation without represtation? why did the colonists consider this practice a problem?

Answer 3

They felt that they were getting taxed without a say-so in Parliament and that by doing so, that it trampled on their rights. They had no representatives in England and felt that they were being treated like second-class citizens instead of those with equal rights like all other English subjects. It might also be mentioned that the English had a different view of taxation without representation. While the colonists held the above-mentioned argument, the British Parliament held to a different interpretation of representation, namely virtual representation. By this they held that all Englishmen at large were equally represented by all Members of Parliament. Thus the position of the Parliament in general denied that the colonists had that grievance to begin with.

Answer 7

what was the olive branch petition

Answer 8

Do you think you know what it is?

Answer 9

The Olive Branch Petition was adopted by the Continental Congress in July 1775 in a fortified attempt to avoid a full-blown war between the Thirteen Colonies that the Congress represented, and Great Britain. The petition affirmed American loyalty to Great Britain and entreated the king to prevent further conflict. However, the Petition succeeded the July 6 Declaration of Taking up Arms which made its efficacy in London dubious. In August 1775 the colonies were formally declared to be in rebellion by the Proclamation of Rebellion, and the petition was rejected in fact, although not having been received by the king before declaring the Congress-supporting colonists traitors.
