D.) They we’re upset that Britain didn’t ask but commanded them instead.


Taxes and other issues such as the Stamp act, Quartering act, etc. were made by Britain with no vote from the colonists these acts were affecting. This is where the phrase “no taxation without representation” sprung from. The lack of representation of colonists in British Parliament led to tensions and later the Revolutionary War.
