Answer 1

One of the leading causes of The American Revolution was excessive taxation by the British.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American Revolution was one of the first and most powerful revolutions to occur in Northern America between 1765 to 1783. This period also saw the colonists fighting for their freedom and desire to be independent of their British ruler.

One of the major causes of this Revolution was the excessive taxes imposed on the colonies. Added to that, the colonists believed in having a representative, demanding "no taxation without representation". This enmity grew, aided by numerous other issues, resulting in the American Revolution.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
