a) the virginia declaration of rights
b) the mayflower compact
c) the english bill of rights
d) common sense

The correct answer is C) the English Bill of Rights.

Colonists felt the increased taxes in the 1760s violated the English Bill of Rights.

After deposing King Kames II, William III and Mary II signed the English Bill of Rights, a document that stated some civil rights for the English and gave power to the British Parliament.

Colonists in the Americas considered that heavy taxation imposed by the British represented a violation of the English Bill of Rights and the worst part was that colonists did not have a voice or representation in the British Parliament. These taxes represented a big cause in the American independence movement that started the Revolutionary War.
