Colonists wanted to have representation in the British Parliament. They believed that, as subjects of the British crown, they should have a say in the laws and taxes imposed on them, especially after experiencing taxation without representation. This desire for representation became a central grievance leading to the American Revolution. Ultimately, they sought a system that would allow them to voice their interests and concerns in governance.
