2) Protesting a lack of representation in Parliament

Explanation:

During this time period, the British Empire began to assert more influence in the American Colonies. It wanted a tighter political control over the colonies, and it also raised taxes on them.

The colonists, who were used to lower taxes, and a great degree of independence, were outraged. They demanded "no taxation without representation", meaning that no laws affected them should be decreed in the British Parliament without representation from the American Colonies.
