The king denied the colonists representation in government.
Prior to the centralized federal government being formed the thirteen colonies had colonial assemblies in which constiuents would meet to dicuss issues. The colonial assemblies arose largely because the government that the US was technical under, the British Monarchy, essentially ignored them. So the US government in the most current sense replaced the colonial assemblies, but the US government in general replaced the British Monarchy.
Some companies paid them money to ignore these problems.
The government was taking the food, the metis and natives were unhappy about the government's way of land handling. Therefore they had to make a petition to get the rights back. But the petition was ignored later on
The proclamation of 1763 was a public announcement that said all lands of the Appalachian Mountains belonged to the Native Americans. Colonists became angry with the Proclamation of 1763 because the Proclamation gave the Crown a monopoly on land bought from Native Americans. So, instead of listening and following the Proclamations rules and orders, they ignored them. They were angry that Britain had limited the area available for settlement. They were also upset because the law forbade them from settling in the Ohio River Valley where there was fertile soil for farming, and the Native Americans weren't using it. Many colonists had already bought land west of the Appalachians and now weren't allowed to move. Many colonists did not respect the Native Americans and did not want to preserve their land. The colonists just ignored the law and moved across the Appalachians.

The British government taxed the American colonists to an extreme and treated them unfairly. The colonists even drew up a document stating their grievances against the King and when it was ignored they rebelled. But it was mainly taxes.

The Stamp act was a tax that would be sent to England and the colonists would receive absolutely nothing for the money they were paying. It represented taxation without representation.We are seeing much the same today. The very rich and very poor are cared for by our Government and the middle class is being taxed to poverty.
