Geography played a significant role in America's political revolution against the King of Great Britain. Great Britain is thousands of miles away from the thirteen American colonies that they controlled during the late 18th century. So when King George III started to implement taxes on the American colonists, they felt it was extremely unfair.
Not only were these taxes implemented without any colonists being represented in the British parliament, they were also being made by a leader who has no idea what goes on in the thirteen colonies on a daily basis. Many American colonists made the argument that it was unfair that a man who was thousands of miles away was making laws for individuals who never even got to meet him/share their opinions with this government.
