Question

2. What were the main reasons for the discontent of the colonists with the British government?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Many colonist felt that they should not pay taxes, because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their own colonial governments. They protested, saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens. The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying, British goods.

Explanation: The main reason was that the British government were charging the colonists for taxes but the colonists thought this was wrong because they were already part of the British so they don't need to pay any taxes to the government. Because they were brought by the Parliament and not by their government which gave them the right to be a part of the British.
