The correct answer to the question: When the British rulers passed the Stamp Act, they said they were not trying to oppress the colonists and felt the stamp tax was reasonable. Based on your knowledge, which Founding Father would have agreed with this, would be, B: Benjamin Franklin.

Explanation:

The origin and reason for the British imposing the Stamp Act on their colonies ws not simply due to a matter of the British wishing to punish the American colonies; the truth was that due to the Seven Years War, the British government was left in deep debt, and given that part of the war involved the colonies, who had benefitted in the end with the defeat of the French, then, the British felt it was only right that the colonies also shoulder part of the responsibility. Discussions for the passing of the Stamp Act did take place between British Prime Minister George and some of the most reknown American colonists, like Benjamin Franklin and the reasons the Prime Minister gave to these colonists were acceptable enough that they did not, at first, feel that the tax would be unfair. So much so that Franklin himself, suggested the appointment of certain people to become Stamp Distributors, like John Hughes. So in the beginning, before the full implications of the Act were known, and seen, in the colonies, some supported the tax, given certain conditions; one of them was Benjamin Franklin.
