a) who was in charge: the king or parliament.
c) the colonists desire to become a completely separate nation.
d) the desire to create a written constitution.
b) the disagreement over \virtual representation\ versus \actual representation.\

Explanation:

For question 14, the American colonists indeed fought the Revolution with the aim of creating a new - style society, breaking away from British rule. For question 15, the main issue between the colonists and Great Britain was the lack of actual representation in Parliament while being taxed, which is the "virtual representation" versus "actual representation" problem. The desire to become a separate nation was a later - stage goal that developed as tensions escalated, and the issue of who was in charge in Britain was not the main colonist - Britain problem, and creating a written constitution was not the most pressing problem at the time of major colonial - British friction.

Answer:

1. A. True
2. B. The disagreement over "virtual representation" versus "actual representation."
