Question 4

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The British government was restrictive, not giving too much independence. Eliminate.
• Option 2: The Declaration of Independence listed grievances like "taxation without representation" (king taxed colonies without their consent). This is correct.
• Option 3: The colonies wanted to break from monarchy, not have one. Eliminate.
• Option 4: The colonial government (under British rule) wasn't the issue; the British rule was. Eliminate.

Analyze each option:

• Option 1: The Constitution has a system of checks and balances, not just the president making decisions. Eliminate.
• Option 2: The Constitution (and Bill of Rights) protects individual freedoms, not remove them. Eliminate.
• Option 3: The Declaration's ideas of limited government and individual rights influenced the Constitution to limit government power (e.g., separation of powers) and protect rights (e.g., Bill of Rights). This is correct.
• Option 4: The Constitution created a republic, not a monarchy. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. The king taxed the colonies without their consent. (Note: Assuming the second option is labeled B; adjust label as per standard multiple-choice numbering if needed, but the text is "The king taxed the colonies without their consent.")
