Many colonists had become wealthy at a time when Britain did not have much wealth.
Primarily the Colonists argued that because they had no voice in the distant British Parliament they should not be subjected to British taxes (and some other British demands). The slogan was, "No taxation without representation." Then when Britain decided to require the Colonists pay taxes to help with the debts Britain incurred in their war with France, the Colonists rebelled.
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 just gained independence from England, therefore, America should have a different type of government. If they wanted to keep the same government, they should not have immigrated to America or fought in the war.
