Hey J Roc,
The American Colonies were entities of the British Crown. All rights belonged to England. There were taxes, and courts, and laws being enforced by Englishmen in the Colonies, with the force of the English Army, and Navy. To rebel, is itself a term of an illegal nature. Organizing against the Crown was an illegal act. So, they did not have a legal right to rebel. Obviously, controlling such a large area from such a distance was a great task. As the numbers in the Colonies increased (population), and the Taxes were seen to add no value to the Colonies, people got increasingly upset, to the point where they were upset as a populous that could rebel and win.

Yes, I believe that that they did. If one really considers it, the American Revolution was ten years in the making based on tensions raised by various acts such as the Stamp Act between the colonies and the monarchy. Legal rights are often based on the defending party or the colonists giving the offending party or the monarchy under King George VI notice in orf\der to deal with the issue. Before the Revolution, I know of at least two Continental Cogresses that met in the colonies with the aim of addressing the colonial tensions.

No one really had the legal right to rebel against their government at that time, but I believe that they were right in doing so. Even if rebellions were outlawed, it wouldn't stop them from happening in extreme cases.
Britain has had a huge repuation for exploiting colonies (as do many other countries). Also, how did Britain expect to maintain control over people 3000 miles away while heavily taxing them and using their resources for their own benefit? but then again, that's what rebellions are all about, putting an end to mistreatment.

First, the homestead web page must be more advantageous than "move to website menu". it ought to nicely be the front foyer of the workplace progression, the table of contents to a e book. it truly is the position you draw people in and practice them what you've. positioned images (if plausible) and the hyperlinks to different pages the following, yet at the instantaneous are not making it cluttered. If this is too busy, people will in simple terms move someplace else. you may positioned a link to the comments web page on the homestead web page. sturdy success and shop your stick on the ice.

no legal right. a moral right, yes, but the colonies had sworn allegiance to british rule knowing what those limitations included. broke their allegiance to get freedom. winning the war gave them the right.

P.S. Those are not your points; they belong to Yahoo.
