Question 13 • 8th Grade US History & Geography A

This paragraph describes one of the Virginia Resolves of 1765. These resolves were a direct response to the Stamp Act.Which of these statements describe what Virginia thought about the Stamp Act? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Only the Virginia legislature had the right to tax Virginians.
B
Anyone paying the British tax was an enemy of Virginia.
C
British tax policies would be obeyed in Virginia.

Explanation

Virginia’s resolves argued that Virginians could be taxed only by their own elected legislature, so the colony rejected Parliament’s authority to impose the Stamp Act. The resolves also treated anyone who supported or paid the tax as an enemy of Virginia. Therefore, A and B describe Virginia’s position; C does not, because Virginia did not agree to obey the Stamp Act.
