The colonists resented the laws and taxes Parliament levied on them describes the political climate of pre-Revolutionary America.

Explanation:

There were many acts put in in place during which colonists didn’t support. One example of such an act is the Stamp Act. They also didn’t support the Mutiny Act which required each colony to make sure the British Army were taken care of in terms of supplies and place to stay. The idea of having a standing army was rather uncomfortable on the colonists and created conflicts as they felt it was another ploy for the British government to tax them without their consent.
