The thirteen colonies became angry with King George III for several reasons, including his imposition of various taxes such as the Stamp Act and the Tea Act without their consent, which they viewed as unjust and a violation of their rights as British subjects. Additionally, they were frustrated by the lack of representation in the British Parliament, leading to the famous slogan "no taxation without representation." The colonies also resented the presence of British troops in their cities and the restrictions placed on their trade and commerce by the British government. These grievances ultimately led to the American Revolution and the colonies declaring independence from British rule.

It just proves that a king or leader and Parliament or government is needed to form a equal power to make decisions for the colony. In short terms: Just read the 1st and last sentence (P.S im answering all the questions in the packet just keep folowling me this is the 1st one)
