Explanation:

British sovereign debt had reached alarming levels in North America during the French and Indian War of 1754-1763, which led the British Parliament and King George III to seek taxes, duties and other means to raise revenue for the Crown from the North American people as a payment for peace.

In principle, Britain already regulated the colonial economy, but in practice these laws were not respected. Now regulation was being put into practice. In 1761, James Otis, a Massachusetts lawyer, argued that regulation was against the rights conferred by the British Constitution. Later, the motto of the tax revolutions of the colonists was "No taxation without representation".

Parliament tried to tax the Americans in many ways. The Stamp Act of 1765 ordered colonists to use crown-stamped paper for public documents, newspapers, playing cards, etc. The descendants of the migrants, who had become accustomed to self-government by fleeing taxes and other restrictions, did not accept this, but resisted. Parliament, surprised by the resistance, soon withdrew the tax. Two years later, the so-called Townshend Acts were enacted, whereby Britain began to levy import duties on a wide variety of settlement supplies, including glass, paint, lead and tea. This led to the establishment of associations against these laws all over North America and a decision to refuse to eat, drink or use any customs-related products.

British troops began to arrive in Boston in October 1768. Tensions continued to escalate, culminating in the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770, when British troops fired at an angry crowd, killing five people. Revolutionary campaigners used the case to accelerate resistance, but after the trial of the soldiers, the situation subsided. In court, the soldiers were defended by John Adams.  

When the other duties in the Townshend Acts were discharged in 1770, the Parliament retained its symbolic gesture of giving the settlements the right to tax. The Highways Act, enacted in 1773, sought to grant the British East India Trading Company a monopoly on the export of tea to North America. The Americans believed that only their own constituent assemblies could impose taxes on them. The people guarded the ferry boats that arrived in the ports day and night to prevent them from being loaded. At Boston Harbor, fifty teenagers dressed as Mohican-Indians and unloaded a ship's cargo in the sea as the crowd watched from the quay, in an event later called the Boston Tea Party, on December 16, 1773.

Canada obeyed Britain, but the Thirteen Colonies organized a congress in Pennsylvania. On July 5, 1775, they wrote a letter to the King stressing the right of every nation to organize its own government and taxation, and demanding this right as part of the British Empire. However, Britain sent its troops to America in the fall of 1775.
