This depends on what answer your teacher wants if this is homework, he or she may not like this answer if they stick strictly to certain history books. The colonists were stirred up a lot by people seeking Independence from England like the Irish catholics and by people who did not like the German King as an English ruler. Members of English Parliament themselves did some of the stirring to cause trouble for the German King, some of the laws were deliberately provocative to stir up the colonists.

do you really mean 'clonists' or did you mean 'colonists'? clonists are people who, well, clone things so since they are real people/occupations, i'd thought i'd ask. really now, you have to proof what you type. ok, so with that in mind and said, you ask WHY the colonists felt laws passes by parliament violated their rights, etc.? put yourself in their place. the 'mother' country is some 4-5 thousand miles away and as a colonist you think, heck. when was the last time i heard anything positive from mama country but when they need $$$ they certainly know where i live. shoot! they haven't bothered with us colonists in years since i arrived and now they're passing laws affecting us? yeah. like that's gonna happen. salutary neglect is what the colonists felt. england dropped the ball by sending their ships and people to settle areas in the new world all under the name and flag of england and then - - - - nothing! it was only through the french/indian wars of early 1700s that england began to see the colonists as $$ makers (for taxes, that is). now if they paid, what would they get for paying, you ask? they asked the same question and when they found out the money went one way, to england, and they'd get really nothing for their time and cash, that's when the major cracks began to develop in the colonies. all it took was further abuses, taxation without representation, king george, the third, an apathetic parliament, etc. the rest, as it is said, is really history!

The colonists did not have the right to vote in parliamentary elections, thus the phrase, "No Taxation without Representation." The colonists felt that they should not be bound to laws made by people they could not elect.

in case you 'favor to stay dangerously' why do not you connect the protection rigidity or change right into a cop or something effective. i'm no longer wide unsleeping of the invoice of rights giving human beings a top to damage or endanger themselves. extraordinarily because the in worry-free words element no longer donning a seatbelt does is placed you at risk. yet in case you do not favor to, only chance getting fined with it. I mean, in case you do not placed on your seatbelt one thousand circumstances and then get ticketed some circumstances for 10 money, only evaluate it a tax like the tax on cigarettes or alcohol. yet heavily, evaluate donning your seatbelt. perchance you do not care about getting damage or lack of life, yet there are absolutely those who DO care about human beings. If no longer something else, it might want to save someone who by danger hits you from a manslaughter charge.. Do you smoke or do you no longer because its risky for you? because lower than 25 automobile injuries are the most important rationalization for lack of existence!

They saw themselves as subjects of the crown. They believed they had the same rights as people living in Britain.
