The correct answer is B. According to Washington, the Whiskey Tax was not taxation WITHOUT representation because the people had elected representatives who voted for the tax.

Explanation:

One of the main motivations for the American Revolution was the colonists' discontent with the Intolerable Acts, which among other things imposed excessive taxes on the colonies. The colonists, especially, argue that they were not represented in the British Parliament and, therefore, the imposition of these tax charges on the citizens did not correspond.

Now, with the Whiskey Tax a rebellion was generated in the recently independent America. In this sense, George Washington defended the imposition of the tax, since now the citizens were represented in the Congress of the United States through the representatives and senators of their respective states.
