Which of the following was included in Patrick Henry's Virginia Resolves? Colonists could be taxed only by colonial assemblies. Colonists should refuse to provide housing to British soldiers in Virginia. A government's purpose is to protect people's natural rights. A government does not have the responsibility to protect its citizens.

The correct answer is: Colonists could be taxed only by colonial assemblies.

The Virginia Resolves were a response by the House of Burgesses to the proclamation of the Stamp Act of 1765 by the Parliament of Great Britain, which imposed direct taxes on the American Colonies. They were a series of resolutions claiming that since in the Parliament of Great Britain there were no colonial representatives, therefore they have no right of taxation, because it was stipulated by law that only the persons chosen by the colonists could represent them and know what taxes people were able to bear.
