Why did the colonists declare their independence?

The American colonies chose to declare independence from Great Britain for many reasons. They believed the British were treating the colonists unfairly.  The British passed many tax laws that impacted the colonists.  The colonists had no representatives in Parliament to vote on or discuss these laws.  In English government, the people had to have representatives who could vote on taxes that would affect them.
