Kody Collins · Answer 2

The right option is:

He believed American colonists should be able to vote in Parliament" "Representation" in this context means having elected representatives in Parliament to make decisions on your behalf.

Explanation:

No taxation without representation" is a slogan beginning during the 1700s that compiled a primary grievance of the American colonists in the Thirteen Provinces, which was one of the principal foundations of the Western Revolution. James Otis was one of the most exciting and powerful champions of American conservatives during the 1760s, but his bright star dimmed during his lifetime and continues so today. He was born in West Barnstable on Cape Cod.
