What is the central issue in the dispute between Britain and its American colonies?

The dispute was that colonists were enraged that Britain had the power to tax colonists.
First, the new taxes and laws lowered the amount of money that the colonists would make through trade. Also, they were highly irritated that they did not have a say in what laws were passed. They believed that representative government meant that their small legislatures should have been represented in the British decisions. Mainly, the colonists thought that their right to vote or be represented properly was being violated. The Quartering Act also violated their right to privacy (and wasn't exactly good for their family from an economic standpoint, as well).
They are very similar to the issues we are seing from the mass demonstrations today! They considered taxation a form of slavery. The Boston Tea Party was over 4 pence tax on a pound of tea. We went to war with Britan over far lower taxation and better representation then the average person today enjoys!

By the mid 1700s how strong was british rule in the colonies?
By the mid-1700s, the relationship between Britain and the colonies had become, in fact if not in form, federal. This meant that the central governement in London was responsible for colonial defense and for foreign affairs. It also provided a uniform system of money and credit and a common market for colonial trade. Beyond that, the colonies were allowed a fairly wide amount of self-rule. It wasn't until the end of the French and Indian war (1760s) that Britain began to become more involved and heavily tax its colonies to pay for the efforts in the war.
