The answer is B: "Members of Parliament represent all citizens of the empire, regardless of who elected them."

Explanation for each option:

A. "Colonists are entitled to all of the rights, liberties and privileges enjoyed by British citizens born and residing in England."

  • This statement emphasizes the rights and privileges that colonists should have, similar to those of British citizens in England. It does not directly address the concept of virtual representation, which is about how representation in Parliament is structured.

B. "Members of Parliament represent all citizens of the empire, regardless of who elected them."

  • This statement directly supports the idea of virtual representation. Virtual representation was the British response to colonial demands for representation in Parliament, suggesting that members of Parliament represented all British subjects, even those who did not vote for them or were not directly represented.

C. "Taxes should be imposed..."

  • The statement is incomplete, but typically, discussions about taxes in the context of representation would relate to the colonial argument of "no taxation without representation." This argument was against virtual representation, as colonists wanted direct representation in Parliament if they were to be taxed. Therefore, this option does not support the idea of virtual representation.
