A.
The key issue was that laws like the Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, Tea Act and the Coercive (Intolerable) Acts were seen as “taxation without representation” and violations of the colonists’ rights as Englishmen. That belief sparked protests, boycotts, events like the Boston Tea Party, and united colonial leaders in the Continental Congress — steps that led to calls for independence. (Economic harms occurred too, but the immediate cause was perceived violations of rights and political autonomy.)
