Colonists in British America were denied several civil rights, including the right to self-governance, as they were subject to British Parliament's laws without representation. They also faced restrictions on trade and economic independence due to mercantilist policies. Additionally, colonists were denied the right to a fair trial by jury in some cases, as British authorities could impose their own rules. Finally, the imposition of taxes without consent violated the principle of no taxation without representation, fueling discontent and calls for independence.
