2. In the passage, "colonies" refer to American lands controlled by Britain, a distant nation.
3. John Dickinson's 1768 letter protested taxes imposed by Parliament without colonial consent, which aligns with the Townshend Acts (1767-1768) that taxed imported goods.
4. The core grievance stated is "no one in England was representing their cause" and taxes imposed without colonial consent, meaning colonists had no representatives in British Parliament.
