Answer 1

American colonists resent British taxes because (A) Americans did not elect representatives to the parliament as people who lived in Great Britain did.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American colonists thought that they should be taxed by their own colonial assemblies and not by the parliament and that they did not elect the representatives to the parliament like the people of Britain did. The debt that the Americans owed to the British after the French Indian war had to be paid by the Americans. This was outrageous to the colonists as there were no representatives in the colonies as the British parliament. This caused severe rebellion in the colonies.
