The legal rights of englishmen influenced the colonists to

expect a voice in their government

give more power to the monarchy

support the navigation acts

believe in the separation of powers

The answer is a because the separation of powers wasn't created until later by Montesquieu. The navigation acts dealt with colonial trade, nothing about legal rights. There was no monarchy in the colonies so you can cross out B. A is the only right choice. They felt that they should have the same rights they did in Europe when they come to the colonies.
