Which is NOT a way in which colonists reacted to British taxation? O Dumped tea into the Boston Harbor
Attacked tax collectors
Refused to participate in the British Parliament
Boycotted British goods

C. Refused to participate in the British Parliament.

Explanation:

After the French and Indian War, Great Britain decided to put a number of different taxes on the colonists. The Stamp Act is a prime example of this, as this put taxes on printed goods such as legal documents and newspapers.

When the taxes were put on the colonists, they were not happy with them whatsoever. They deemed them to be unfair and unnecessary. Great Britain defended themselves and said that the taxes were actually fair, as they needed to pay for the French and Indian War and they had troops protecting the colonists.

One of the main reasons the colonists thought the taxes were unfair was because they had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them. This is known as "taxation without representation." They wanted one of their own people to be in the British Parliament, they did not refuse that.

The colonists did dump tea in the Boston Harbor. This is called the Boston Tea Party and it occurred in Massachusetts on December 16, 1773. It was a very influential part of history and the colonists stood up for themselves against Great Britain. They would also attack the tax collectors and often become violent with British merchants, even sometimes burning products that had the tax on them. They would boycott any of the items that had the tax on them as well and sometimes even products from Great Britain in general.
