Answer (3)

Because the British kept on taking away more of there rights and they were doing taxation without representation which basically means that they were taxing the colonist without the colonist having a representative over in Britain to speak for them.

Colonists became upset with the British government due to taxation without representation, perceived violations of their rights, and increased regulation and control. Key events like the Stamp Act and the Boston Tea Party highlighted their discontent. Ultimately, these grievances contributed to their desire for independence and self-governance.
