Answer:

The correct answer is A. William Penn founded Pennsylvania to provide a refuge for Quakers.

Explanation:

The province of Pennsylvania was one of thirteen English colonies in North America. It was founded by the English Quaker William Penn on March 4, 1681.

William Penn received the colony of King Charles II instead of paying a £16,000 debt owed by the Crown to his father, a naval hero, Admiral William Penn.  

The establishment of the colony solved the problem of the growth of the Religious Society of Friends or "Quaker" movement born in England, which caused some embarrassment to the Church of England established before. While still in England, Penn wrote the First Frame of Government, which described the government structure of the colony and promised certain rights to citizens.

Describe the conflicting arguments of colonists and britain concerning taxes
jonny [76]
Great Britain made the stamp act, and the townshend act, the quartering act, ect. But it only applied to the colonies so the colonists felt that it was unfair because they had no one to represent them in Great Britain, King George wouldn't repeal any of these laws and it led to the colonists dressing up as Indians and emptying the ships of the tea into Boston Harbor (Boston Tea Party) and the Boston Massacre, and eventually led to the revolutionary war.
