Back when Christopher Colombia was alive, Spain was trying to find a new route to Asia. The queen laid Colombus to go on the search for it. He sailed West, because he thought it was a quicker route to Asia, but in reality, he was actually in the Americas. He didn't know it at the time, though. The country that was trying to find a new route to Asia was Spain.
The colonists right to have a say in government was removed when their legislatures were dissolved, and by the ongoing lack of Parliamentary representation for the colonies.
