One prominent American colonist who favored independence from Britain was Thomas Paine. His influential pamphlet, "Common Sense," published in 1776, argued for the colonies' break from British rule and advocated for self-governance. Paine's writings helped galvanize public opinion in favor of independence and played a crucial role in shaping the revolutionary sentiment among colonists.
The Stamp Act of 1765 was argued to be a tax without representation since the British colonies had no representatives in the British Parliament.
The taxation to the colonists. Britain said that they could do that because they were in charge of everything that happened in their territory. The colonists said that they could not be taxed because there was no representation in Britain's Parliament.
Thomas Jefferson placed blame for the troubles between the colonies and Britain primarily on King George III. In the Declaration of Independence, he highlighted the king's repeated injuries and usurpations against the colonies, portraying him as a tyrant who violated their rights. Jefferson argued that these actions justified the colonies' decision to seek independence.
Jefferson argued that a government should protect these rights if it does not then people have the right to start a new government the ideas of dechlorination were not new Jefferson used ideas that john Locke and other English thinkers had written about lock had said that government should serve their people Jefferson is the many ways that but you didn't answer colonies for instant King George ahead try to take away the rights he had force taxes on colonist and said so just to show them Jefferson showed that colonist had many reasons to separate from the king they had the right to create their own government.
One prominent British leader who criticized Britain's treatment of the American colonies was Edmund Burke. In his famous speeches and writings, particularly during the 1770s, Burke argued for a more conciliatory approach towards the colonies, emphasizing the importance of representation and the need to address their grievances. He believed that the harsh policies imposed by the British government were counterproductive and would ultimately lead to greater unrest and the loss of the colonies.
