Answer 1

Answer:

They were loyal to the Crown but believed only their colonial assemblies had the right to tax them.

Explanation:

The colonists in North America were loyal to King George III even though they had broken away from his rulership in Britain. They still paid their taxes to the British government and in return benefitted from their military protection. They lived in this manner until after the seven years French and Indian war where the British military fought against the French people and eventually won.

To recover from the debts and depleted resources from the war, they imposed exorbitant taxes on the colonists and stationed their military within their colonies. This caused the rebellion of the colonists.
