What was one major cause of the American Revolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Opposition to taxation without representation
The thirteen British colonies in North America objected to taxes imposed by the British Parliament because the colonists had no elected representatives in that body. The slogan ‘no taxation without representation’ expressed this grievance, though trade restrictions, imperial control and other political ideas also contributed. The Russian Revolution occurred much later, and the other alternatives do not explain the colonial rebellion. Therefore A is correct.
