The British policy of taxation without representation.
Switzerland was the first country to adopt the imperialism policy. It ran the countries of France and England. Switzerland was the true enforcer of the british high power during the period of the new world.
Political representation differed in the colonies when compared to England. The colonists did not have any representation. The English citizens did.
The arguments the American colonists made against British policies of 1763-1776 related to representation. The main argument that rallied support of the colonists was taxation without representation.
Have you ever heard "taxation without representation"? The colonies were paying taxes to England, but not getting anything in return.
The American colonists were British citizens, but they were denied the right to have representatives in the British government - a guaranteed right of those citizens still residing in England. It was known as "Taxation without Representation" and was one of several reasons that the colonists decided to rebel against "Mother England" and King George.
Yes, the British government did expect the American colonies to harvest valuable resources and ship them back to England. This is because England considered the colonies as their own. They also felt the colonials looked upon England as their sovereign. Along with taxation without representation and British tyranny, the colonials believed the only way to independence was via rebellion and war.
The reason King George and Parliament did not give the American colonists representation in the legislature is because they did not consider the colonists citizens of England, but rather inhabitants of a British colony.
yes they are from england!!...thats why they have kind of a british/england accent
Actually American colonists paid considerably less in tax than people in England did. The real issue was the lack of representation for American concerns in the British government. When the British refused to give the Americas colonists representation the Americans' decided they had to beocome independent and take care of themselves.
religion and self-government
Taxation without representation was the main reason, they thought that they were being unfairly taxed, when in accuallity, the folks of England were being taxed way more.
