Explanation: republic is a form of government which does not say anything about political participation of inhabitants of the country, society (civic rights: right to vote, right of expression, freedom of assembly, right to a fair trial).
British attempts to limit western expansion by colonists and inadvertent provocation of a major Indian war further angered the British subjects living in the American colonies. These disputes ultimately spurred colonial rebellion, which eventually developed into a full-scale war for independence.
