What body of government did the colonies not have the right to elect representatives?
The colonies did not have the right to elect representatives to the British Parliament. While they had their own colonial assemblies that allowed for some local governance, decisions regarding taxation and other significant matters were ultimately controlled by Parliament, where the colonies had no representation. This lack of representation became a central grievance leading up to the American Revolution.
Who were the state representatives of the first 13 colonies?
The first 13 colonies did not have state representatives in the modern sense, as they were governed by colonial assemblies that functioned under British rule. Each colony had its own legislature, typically a bicameral system consisting of an upper house (often appointed by the governor) and a lower house (elected by property-owning men). Notable figures included representatives like Patrick Henry in Virginia and Samuel Adams in Massachusetts, who were influential in advocating for colonial rights. These assemblies laid the groundwork for the eventual establishment of state legislatures after independence.

What does he has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people mean?
This charge refers to a grievance that arose because of the British government's fear that the popular assemblies of the colonies were growing too large and powerful as new communities were formed and additional representatives were elected to the assemblies of the colonies. New Hampshire, South Carolina, and New York passed laws allowing for the establishment of new communities with elected representatives to their respective popular assemblies, all of which were disallowed by King George. Virginia was also constrained by the same policy. The colonists insisted that representation in their assemblies was their right, because government must be by consent of the governed. The British maintained that representation was a privilege granted by the King.
