Answer:
Accepted
Explanation:
I would kind of sat erased as well, but I didn't choose that because when you pardon someone, you are accepting/forgiving them. It doesn't erase what you are accepting them of.

That means even though the protesters protested without a permit, since martin was there, he acknowledged it was for a good reason, therefore pardoned them.
No because after the wars, King George 111 was left in a huge debt. So he taxed the colonists without their consent (opinion)on it. He created high taxes and acts ( such as the Iron act) to help pay HIS debt. IT wasn't fair because the people risked their life during war and now they have to pay the high taxes the king issued!!
