The colonists protest passage of the Stamp Act because they believed that without representation in the Parliament, they should not be taxed.  

Option C

<u>Explanation</u>:

The "Stamp Act" was passed in the year "1765" by British Parliament. According to this act, the colonists were compelled to buy stamps for every official document they acquire. Every printable material was to be printed on "stamped paper" from London. All this was done to gather tax directly from "colonists" to pay for debts of the "French and Indian War".

The colonists believed that if they were to pay taxes then they first want representation in the Parliament, but this was disagreed by the British. Hence, the colonists started opposing the "Stamp Act" and later in the year 1766, the Parliament voted to abolish it.

According to the preamble, where does the power of government come from?
dezoksy [38]

The power of government comes from the people.

This concept is known as the "consent of the governed." This idea, implemented in the preamble, was an Enlightenment idea discussed by philosophers like John Locke. In his book <em>Two Treaties of Government</em> Locke discusses how the government derives its power from the people, as they should have the ability to elect officials into office who will best serve their needs. This is why the Founding Fathers implemented this idea into the preamble.
