English Influences on Government

Question 15 • SVHS US Government $FA

[N]o man [should] be compelled to make or yield any gift, loan, benevolence, tax, or such like charge, without common consent by act of Parliament.

Answer
T
The king must agree to any law Parliament passes.
T
There should be no taxation without representation.
T
The king can’t put someone in prison for no reason.
P
People cannot give each other gifts unless Parliament approves.

Explanation

The passage says no one should be forced to pay a tax or similar charge unless Parliament has approved it through common consent. This expresses the principle that taxes require the consent of people’s representatives, summarized as “no taxation without representation.” Choice B matches this idea; the passage is not about imprisonment, gifts between individuals, or the king’s approval of laws.
