What argument does the author anticipate and refute in this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence?

"Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity."

A) If the American colonists are unhappy with the king, they should appeal to Parliament.

B) Most British Parliament members sympathize with the plight of the American colonies.

C) The American colonies are well represented in the British Parliament and have no right to blame the king.

D) The allegations against the king made by the colonists are without proof and unjustified.

Answer:

A) If the American colonists are unhappy with the king, they should appeal to Parliament.

Explanation:

Parliament enacted and passed taxes for the Empire all in all. The colonists were spoken to for all intents and purposes in Parliament despite the fact that they chose no specific agents. The colonists expected that on the off chance that they permitted any of these charges gone by Parliament, at that point there would be one duty after another. They would be completely denied of their property.
