Answer:
They felt this way because so many unjust acts were passed onto them by Parliament without any say of their own colonial government
Explanation:
Many of the acts that were passed were unconstitutional. Some of these include:
- Proclamation of 1763 - this prohibited the colonists from settling west of the Appalachians and colonists who had already settled west were forced to move back east
- Quartering Act - the colonists were forced to quarter British troops in their homes, while they were already being taxed to pay for provisions of the army
- Stamp Act - the colonists felt like this was "taxation without representation" because they were being taxed without their consent... the colonists didn't even have their own members a part of their decision making!
- Sugar Act - this disrupted the colonies' economy because there was an increase in the cost of imported items and a reduction of exports to non-British companies
