Answer:
3. The lack of colonial representation in Parliament
Step-by-step explanation:
Before the American Revolution, Britain imposed a series of taxes in the 13 colonies that led to anger, dissension, and rebellion. Americans wanted to be represented in the Parliament by representatives chosen by them, so they could have a voice in the taxes impositions, but the British did not agree with it, they wanted to defend the “virtual representation” that meant that there was a member of the Parliament who was virtually represented and there would be no need for a specific person that represented the colonies.
This led to rebellion and the development of the motto “no taxation without representation”.
