Question

check the three statements that help jefferson advance his argument for why the colonies should break free.
□ the king has refused to pass laws that would help the colonists.
□ the colonists would have more rights under a different monarchy.
□ the colonists have repeatedly tried to work with the british government.
□ the king has imposed taxes without consent from the colonists.

Explanation:

Jefferson argued the colonies should break free due to the king's oppressive actions and lack of colonial - government cooperation. The king's refusal to pass helpful laws, the colonists' repeated attempts to cooperate, and the king's imposition of taxes without consent all support the case for independence. The idea of more rights under a different monarchy is not a main argument for breaking free as the issue was with the British king's rule, not monarchy in general.

Answer:

The king has refused to pass laws that would help the colonists.
The colonists have repeatedly tried to work with the British government.
The king has imposed taxes without consent from the colonists.
