Answer:

The colonists wanted equal representation

Step-by-step explanation:

The colonies did not have representation in parliament, so they could not give their input on any official decisions made by King George III, but they had to pay taxes. Usually when you payed taxes in Britain you were represented in parliament, however King George refused to give them any sort of representation.
