Consent of the governed.

The main cause of the American Revolution was over the taxes that Parliament imposed on the colonists after the French and Indian War.

The problem with that was that their wasn’t any colonial representation in Parliament. The colonists wanted one of their own people to represent them because they felt that it was unfair that they were being governed by people that didn’t see from their own perspective.

Consent of the governed had the greatest influence on the conflicts that arose between the colonists and British because without the consent of the governed (aka taxation without representation) was the crucial key to the ignition of the American Revolution. If Parliament had just given the colonists the representation that they demanded, there would be no conflict and war MIGHT have been avoided.

How was the new government of the United States similar to the government under British rule
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The official British reply to the colonial case on representation was that the colonies were “virtually” represented in Parliament in the same sense that the large voteless majority of the British public was represented by those who did vote. To this Otis snorted that, if the majority of the British people did not have the vote, they ought to have it. The idea of colonial members of Parliament, several times suggested, was never a likely solution because of problems of time and distance and because, from the colonists’ point of view, colonial members would not have adequate influence.
