Taxes were oppressive because colonies were not directly represented in Parliament.
Colonial assemblies should make rules for the colonies they represent.
Explanation:
- Tensions between the British government and the colonies were further intensified by Britain's policy of mercantilism - economic and trade absolutism by reducing imports and developing domestic production.
- In addition, King George III (ruled from 1760 to 1820) imposed new taxes on the colonies to pay off debts incurred during the French and Native American War.
- The American colonists, accustomed to self-rule, fled because of the tyranny of the London government.
