A. Colonists had no representation in Parliament.
The primary reason for the colonists' anger toward Great Britain was the lack of representation in Parliament, famously summarized in the phrase "no taxation without representation." This meant that the colonists were being taxed by a government in which they had no elected representatives, leading to widespread discontent and ultimately contributing to the American Revolution. While the issue of affordability of taxes was also a concern, it was the principle of representation that fueled much of the anger and urgency for change among the colonists.
