Answer 1

American colonists did not elect the representatives of the parliament but people in Great Britain did.

Step-by-step explanation:

Britain was involved in seven years war. France extended its boundaries and were about to annex the American borders where the thirteen colonies were present. Britain waged seven years’ war from France and expelled the French troops from annexing the American colonies. War efforts made British to spend a huge amount on its military operations and it felt difficult the people in the homeland because they were overburdened to pay much taxes.

Now the focus of British turned towards the American colonies. Gradually, American colonists were also burdened with too many taxes and they resented British Taxes because they were not given any chance to represent in the parliament but the people were burdened heavily and exploited in order to earn revenue to British. This made the colonists to protest the crown.
