why did the colonists fight the british? 1 pointbecause of high taxesbecause the british invaded francebecause the colonists wanted a new kingbecause the colonists wanted religious freedomwhat is one promise made when becoming a citizen of the united states of america? 1 pointto register to voteto get an educationto join a political partyto defend the u.s. constitution

Explanation:

For the first question, a core grievance of the American colonists against Britain was the imposition of unfair, unrepresented high taxes (like the Stamp Act, Tea Act) which fueled the push for independence. The other options are incorrect: the British did not invade France as a cause of the colonists' fight, the colonists sought self-governance not a new king, and religious freedom was a motivation for early colonization, not the main reason for fighting the British in the Revolutionary War.

For the second question, one of the key oaths taken by new U.S. citizens is to defend the U.S. Constitution. Registering to vote, getting an education, and joining a political party are not required promises for citizenship.

Answer:

1. because of high taxes
2. to defend the U.S. Constitution
