Great Britain enforced unfair laws on the American colonies primarily to maintain control and generate revenue following the costly French and Indian War. Measures like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts were seen as necessary to pay off war debts and fund colonial administration, but they ignited widespread resentment. Colonists viewed these laws as violations of their rights, leading to protests and ultimately fueling the desire for independence. The disconnect between British authorities and colonial interests further exacerbated tensions, making compromise increasingly difficult.
