The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached or further references, we can say the following.
The ways in that the colonists deserved better treatment by the English government were in that they were hard-working people that strove to make a living. These American colonists deserved better treatment but the English crown continued to impose many heavy taxations -sone tomes, nonsense taxation- that angered the colonists to the point of demanding independence from Britain.
Taxation such as the Townsend Acts, the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, or the Tea Act were examples of the ways England tried to punish and exploit the colonies. And to make things worse, colonists did not have a voice or representation in the British Parliament.
