OMG! WE LEARNED THIS IN HISTORY LAST WEEK! YAY IM HELPFULL!
ok the colonists felt that since they couldnt elect anyone to parliment, that they shouldnt be taxed by them. but the british didnt care what the colonists thought, they tried raising the taxes in britian but that caused riots there so they felt safe taxing the colonists. but the colonists scared away the tax collectors so the king made an examlpe of Boston and sent a bunch of soldiers there and made a law saying that they could tax the colonists and that the colonies existed only to serve britain. this angered the colonists and that lead to the american revolution. all in all, they thought it was violating thier freedome rights

The British were upset at the colonists because the rejected many of their acts that they enforced. British did not treat the colonies fairly and only saw them as a way to make money. (The mercantile theory) However, the colonists thought that the acts that the British Parlament enforced were outrageous, especially the Stamp Act and the Tea Act. The Stamp Act resulted in a famous phrase created by a colonist, "No taxation without representation!" The Tea Act was hated by the colonies so much that it resulted in a well known event called the Boston Tea Party.
