British colonists were upset about England's Navigation Acts because these laws restricted trade to English ships and mandated that certain goods produced in the colonies could only be exported to England. This limited their ability to trade freely with other nations, reducing potential profits and economic opportunities. Many colonists felt that these restrictions benefited England at the expense of their own economic interests, fostering resentment towards British rule. Additionally, the acts fueled a growing desire for independence and self-governance among the colonists.

As a colonist, I would have been upset about the Quartering Act because it forced us to house and provide for British soldiers without our consent, infringing on our rights and privacy. This act not only imposed an additional financial burden but also symbolized the growing control and intrusion of the British government into our daily lives. Additionally, it heightened tensions between colonists and British authorities, fostering resentment and feelings of oppression.

(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.
