1) The British took several steps between 1763-1774 that alienated its American colonies. The biggest steps taken were the taxes implemented by the British parliament. Laws like the Stamp Act, Townshend Act, and the Tea Act were all laws passed without the colonists consent.
2) Britain felt justified in passing these laws and taxes without the colonists consent because they felt that the reason their government was in debt was due to protecting America during the French and Indian War. From 1754-1763, the British sent soldiers, ammunition, and other resources to North America to help the colonists fight the French. This war caused the British government to go into debt, so they turned to the Americans for assistance since they just protected them from the French.
3) The colonists rebelled against the taxes and laws. They boycotted British goods, attacked tax collectors, and protested until the laws were repealed.
4) The colonists stated that the laws and taxes implemented by the British parliament were unfair because they were passed without their consent. This is the first time that the colonists were taxed by someone other than their colonial legislature. This prompted the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation."

Explanation:
Queen Mary I ruled Scotland from 1542 to 1567. Her father was James V. Although she was the princess of Scotland, she spent most of her childhood in France. In 1558, she married the Dauphin of France, Francis. In 1560, Francis died and left Mary as the Queen of Scotland. She remarried to Lord Darnley and had a child with him but in 1567, he was found murdered in the garden. She then married James Hepburn VI but was imprisoned after an uprising against them. After an unsuccessful attempt to regain the throne, Mary fled to her first cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. Seeing her as a threat, Elizabeth had her confined in various castles. After 18 years in custody, Mary was found guilty of plotting to assassinate the Queen in 1586 and was beheaded in 1587.
