Answer 1

The biggest reason for colonial opposition to British economic policies after the French and Indian War was **lack of representation in Parliament**. Colonists were frustrated that they were being taxed and subjected to economic restrictions without having any representatives in the British Parliament to voice their concerns or influence decisions. This sentiment was famously encapsulated in the slogan "no taxation without representation."
