Quizplus · Accepted Answer

American colonists opposed the authority of the British Parliament to levy taxes, which they believed were unjust since they were being taxed without representation in the Parliament. This was a major source of tensions leading up to the American Revolution. Although there were also disagreements over trade regulation and navigation restriction, these were not as significant as the issue of taxation. Control over manufacturing was not a major issue at this time.
