Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Being governed and taxed without representation. Being controlled by the British was not appealing to non-English people. There was no direct representation for the colonists in Parliament. Many argued not having direct representation was a violation of the English constitution. The colonial settlers were English as well as Dutch, German, Irish, and other ethnicities.
