B and C

To check your answers, let's go through each option:

a. similar stamp taxes were already used in England and Europe.
This is a valid reason. The British felt justified in imposing the Stamp Act on the colonists because similar stamp taxes were already in place in England and Europe. The concept of stamp taxes was not new, and it was seen as a common method of raising revenue.

b. the taxes protected colonists from Native Americans.
This is not a valid reason. The Stamp Act was primarily a revenue-raising measure and was not directly aimed at protecting colonists from Native Americans.

c. Britain had spent money protecting the colonists from the French.
This is a valid reason. Britain had indeed spent a significant amount of money protecting the colonists from the French during the French and Indian War. As a result, they believed that the colonists should contribute to the cost of their own defense.

d. the taxes were being used to raise money for more supplies for the colonists.
This is not a valid reason. The revenue raised from the Stamp Act was intended to cover the costs of maintaining British troops in the colonies and to pay off war debt, rather than providing direct supplies for the colonists.

Based on these explanations, the correct answers are a. similar stamp taxes were already used in England and Europe and c. Britain had spent money protecting the colonists from the French.
