What rate did citizens in Britain have that American colonists wanted but did not have
1 answer
Representation in Parliament. American colonists wanted the right to be represented in the British Parliament in order to have a say in the laws and decisions that affected them, but at the time, they did not have any directly elected representatives in Parliament. This lack of representation was a major factor in the growing tensions between the American colonists and the British government, eventually leading to the American Revolution.
