lol i got the same question for my h.w and i found out, that they rebel for their political principles. They rebel because they wanted the same rights as Britain, but Britain didn't allow it. The colonists was angry that they didn't have the same rights and have no power...........etc
They learned many lessons from the past and they wanted to enjoy all there rights.

The Virginia Company introduced the headright system to the colonies. This allowed the colonists to own land. They were also allowed to form a representative government.
The Olive Branch Petition asked the king to protect the colonists' rights.
the colonists believed that the powerto tax was the power to erode a persons' political rights
In 1776, the Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence. The document explained the colonists' reasons for severing their political ties with Great Britain.
Most of the colonists' political traditions in America were derived from English political practices and philosophies, particularly those stemming from the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights. These documents emphasized principles like limited government, individual rights, and the rule of law. Additionally, Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke influenced colonial views on democracy and governance, promoting ideas of natural rights and social contracts. As a result, the colonists blended these English traditions with their unique experiences in the New World, shaping their own political identity.
English colonists brought the idea that people should have political rights that cannot be taken away. This concept was rooted in Enlightenment thinking and influenced the development of democratic principles in America. Unlike the notions of church or kingly control, the emphasis was on individual rights and the idea of self-governance. This foundation ultimately contributed to the establishment of a democratic government in the United States.
The Bill of Rights was important because it listed what rights the colonists should have that the government can't take away from them, which is what Britain did, so the colonists rebelled.
