In a mercantilism system, colonies were expected to serve the colonial power. Grenville reasoned that the colonists would not oppose small tax increases.
Great Britain taxed the colonies but did not allow them to participate in politics.
The mercantile system enforced strict trade regulations that benefited Britain at the expense of colonial economic interests, limiting the colonies' ability to trade freely with other nations. Additionally, the imposition of taxes, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, without colonial representation in Parliament fueled resentment among colonists who felt their rights were being violated. These economic restrictions and perceived injustices fostered a growing sense of unity and opposition against British rule, ultimately leading to anti-British attitudes and the desire for independence.

So to answer the question , because the British felt like they were in control because they kinda took the colonists under there wing.
