Answer:

The King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies.  Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes, because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their own colonial governments. They protested, saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens. The issue of taxation without representaiton in Parliment was a contributing factor, for example, the Boston Tea Party was a result of these taxes. They no longer wanted to live under a tyrant king, so the declared themselves independent, listing all of their reasons, complaints, greivences, efforts, etc. In the Declaration of Indpendence.

kvv77 [185]

John Winthrop, addressing the Puritans aboard the Arbella in 1630, said: "... we must consider that we will be like a city on a hill, the eyes of all peoples will be watching us."
