The sentence that requires revision to maintain a formal style is:
a. Quakers like William Penn wouldn't pay taxes to support wars because they were against it, and this made people angry.
A more formal revision could be: "Quakers, including William Penn, refused to pay taxes to support wars due to their opposition to such conflicts, which resulted in public discontent."
