The British theory of virtual representation was a political compromise offered to colonists angry at taxation without representation. true or false

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The British theory of virtual representation was representation in the parliament through virtual means, generally due to the goodwill and mindfulness of the political structure for its subjects and citizens. It was legitimized through the fact that most of British subjects and citizens did not have direct representation (some due to restrictive voting rights).
