Taxes. I might add that the taxes the colonists were paying were quite a bit lower than the total tax burden that American citizens shoulder today. In fact, hundreds of wars have been fought, and millions of men and women have died, fighting against taxes that were a heck of a lot lower than American citizens are paying right now.

John Locke's natural rights, as proposed in his philosophy, include the right to life, liberty, and property.

Locke believed that governments exist to protect these natural rights, and individuals have the right to resist or overthrow a government that fails to do so.

John Locke's natural rights ideas revolved around the belief that individuals have inherent rights to life, liberty, and property. He argued that these rights are unalienable and come from being human, not from governments or rulers. Locke believed that the purpose of government is to protect these natural rights, and individuals have the right to revolt against oppressive governments that fail to do so.
