American colonists had

a.

fewer rights than citizens living in Britain.

b.

more rights than citizens living in Britain.

c.

the same rights as citizens living in Britain.

d.

little knowledge of their rights as citizens of Britain.

A

The British would make many acts, like the stamp act, to pay for French and Indian War. They did this without any say from American colonists. So basically Americans had fewer rights as they had no representation in making laws in Britain.

The correct answer is letter A.

The English Crown, besides defining occupation and defense strategies for the new territory, also stipulated the administrative structure for the colonial territory. Measures taken to operate this structure included prohibitive laws, that is, laws designed to officialize British control over what was produced in the American colonies.
