Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Benjamin Franklin testified to Parliament that the American colonists already had a heavy tax burden, which suggests they were not willing to bear any additional taxes or fees imposed by Britain. This supports the growing sentiment of opposition to British rule in the colonies. Franklin did not mention anything about strained or improved relations or the colonists arming themselves for war in his testimony.
