The declaration of independence sprouted from many reasons. The Americans believed that the British government were unfair to the colonists. Tax laws were imposed in favor of the British government. The Parliament had no American representatives to discuss on the laws. A good example would be when the Great British government intentionally wanted to have the American colonists pay imported goods tax.
