What did colonists do to let British parliament know they were against new taxes?
The Boston Tea Party.
Which colonists would have been unlikely to have grievances against the British government by April 1775?
none, all colonists were highly and strictly against all the undecided taxation rules the british had layed upon the colonists without it being even addressed in the Parliament.
Why did the colonists criticize the stamp act as taxation without representation?
The fundamental argument against Parliament's taxation was that since the colonies did not receive representation in Parliament, they should not be taxed. The colonists had lobbied for representation for years, without success. As a result, the sudden levying of taxes by Parliament was totally unexpected, and angered the colonists. Although the taxes levied differed, this was the fundamental argument for all of them, including the Stamp Act.
The colonists rebelled against the stamp act because?
The Stamp Act of 1765 was imposed by the British Parliament on the colonies of North America to pay for the seven years war. The British Govermment thought that the Colonies would benefit from the Military presence and therefore should pay for a portion of the expence. There were no colonists elected to the British Parliament and so for Parliament to tax the colonists was seen as a violation of the British Constitution. The British Constitution guaranteed that British subjects should not be taxed without their consent. So this tax was a violation of the Constitutiuon. The colonists rebelled and declared - 'no taxation without representation'. The colonists rebelled with force and the Act could not be imposed and was repealed 17th March 1766
What caused the American colonists' break with Great Britain?
Attempts by the British Parliament, with the support of the King, to exercise legislative powers over the colonies, particularly the power to tax, which had not been effectively exercised previously in colonial history. The colonists were used to making their own laws, and setting their own taxes, through their own elected legislatures. Since they had no representation in Parliament, Parliament's claim to be able to legislate and tax then itself, and enforce those laws with officers answerable to it rather than the colonies, meant the colonists would have no effective means of exercising and protecting their rights. Parliament could undo any of their laws and and tax them into utter poverty on a whim. When Parliament would not acknowledge the justice of the colonists grievances, and it became apparent that the king completely supported the parliament, the colonists decided to declare independence. For a more detailed accounting of just what the colonists were concerned about, read the Declaration of Independence, not just the first few lines that everybody memorizes in school, but the whole thing. Jefferson gives a long list of charges against the king and Parliament showing why the king was a tyrant unfit to rule.
