How did the colonists justify their protests and ultimate rebellion?

Asked by Mili26

Answer (3)

The Crown was using the colonies as an economic tool, so they imposed rough taxes without consent, and restricted its trading partners so Britain can make a huge profit. People in the colonies thought these measures (and others, such as quartering troopsand suspending local legislatures) were a huge violation of their rights [as British subjects], particularly because they weren't represented in Parliament.

The colonists justified their protests and ultimate rebellion because they think that their actions were fair.

Colonists justified their protests and rebellion through arguments like 'no taxation without representation,' claiming their rights were violated by British policies. They viewed British impositions such as taxes and the quartering of troops as abuses of power. These grievances ultimately fostered a desire for independence, leading to the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
