Colonists wanted to go west for new land, but the British did not want them to.
Explanation:
The colonists expected that with the acquisition of western lands, Britain would allow them to move westwards. This reasoning was based on two major factors:
1) The Eastern coast was getting overpopulated, and there was not enough land to sustain the colonists.
2) The Colonies 'helped' Britain defeat the French, therefore they should also receive the land.
In turn, Britain did not see it that way.
As of point 2, Britain saw that they were the ones who helped the Colonists survive, protecting them. In return, they believed that the colonies should help pay for war debts, and started what was later known as the Intolerable Acts.
For point 1, Britain wanted to keep a positive relationship with the Western Native American Tribes, and forbade the colonists to enter for fear of damage to native relations.

whom they apply; they are affected by the industry of a country,
and by the political, social and religious belief of the law-makers.

by studying its laws.
