What conclusion could a historian draw from examining these two primary sources about the American Revolution?

A. Differences of opinion existed about the right of Parliament to tax the colonists.

Explanation:

As seen from the two documents, we can know that the main issue dealt with here is the issue of taxation. Soame Jenyns' support for the taxation of the colonies by the British Parliament is contradicted by the 1776 New York General Assembly. The Assembly rather declared that every free state deserves "[an] exemption from the burden of taxes" that they had not imposed on themselves, but rather were imposed on them by the British government.

These two documents show that there were differing opinions about the Parliament's act of taxation.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

in mcculloch v. maryland (1819) the supreme court ruled that congress had implied powers under the necessary and proper clause of article i, section 8 of the constitution to create the second bank of the united states and that the state of maryland lacked the power to tax the bank.

gibbons v. ogden, (1824), was a landmark decision in which the supreme court of the united states held that the power to regulate interstate commerce, granted to congress by the commerce clause of the united states constitution, encompassed the power to regulate navigation.
