They petitioned Parliament for independence. They urged the colonial legislatures to enforce the tax program of Parliament. They demanded war against Britain.

A. They rejected Parliament’s right to manage their internal affairs.

Explanation:

Following the French and Indian War, Great Britain decided to put taxes on the colonists. One of these tax laws was called the Stamp Act, which put taxes on printed items.

The colonists were not happy with these taxes and thought they were unfair, as they had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them, also known as "taxation without representation." Great Britain said they were actually taxing them fairly, as they needed to pay the debts for the French and Indian War and were providing the colonists with troops to protect them.

This caused tensions to rise between the colonists and Great Britain. The British colonial policies made the colonists start to want independence from Great Britain, as they felt everything they were doing was unfair. They rejected the British Parliament's right to manage their internal affairs and essentially wanted to be left alone.
