Taxation in the form of the Stamp Act, which required a tax on any official document.
The lack of representation in the Parliament. They had merchants represent the colonists, and that really made the colonists angry because they did not actually go for what was in the colonists best interests.
The tax on tea that made the imported tea more expensive than the British East India Co.'s tea.
