Colonists in America were not allowed to make their own laws or govern themselves independently, as they were subject to British rule and colonial charters. They faced restrictions on trade, only being able to buy and sell goods through British merchants. Additionally, many were denied representation in the British Parliament, leading to grievances over taxation without representation. These limitations fueled discontent and ultimately contributed to the American Revolution.
