Answer:

a. Stamp Act

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was first declared on by the British Parliament on the American colonists in 1765. The purpose of the Stamp Act was for Great Britain to get back money to pay for its French and Indian war debts. The Stamp Act was considered to be a direct tax on colonists by the British Parliament.

Hence, the Stamp Act was generally accepted by the majority of American colonists as a legitimate use of Parliament's authority.

American colonists generally accepted that Parliament could institute the e. Navigation Acts

The Navigation Acts were designed to:

  • stop trade between the American colonies and every other European nations
  • encourage the colonists to buy only from Britain

Most colonists did not mind these Acts because:

  • they accepted that the British had to do so to maintain their grip on trade
  • they practiced smuggling with other European nations so weren't much affected

In conclusion, the colonists might have been angry with the Navigation Acts, but they accepted it and simply found ways around it.
