Explanation:

In early British history, the king had all the power. Nobles forced him to sign Magna Carta which listed rules. A government following rules is limited. In 1689, the English Bill of Rights listed citizens' rights. In the American colonies, they had representative governments, reported to Parliament and the king. The British imposed unfair taxes, leading to colonists' boycott as they had no representation in Parliament.

Answer:

In early British history, the king had all the power. In 1215, some nobles forced the British King to sign Magna Carta, which means “Great Charter.” Magna Carta is a paper listing rules that the king had to follow. The king could no longer do anything he wanted. When a government has to follow rules, it is called limited government.
In 1689, the British Parliament went further. It wrote the English Bill of Rights, a paper listing rights that people should always have. The paper said that government could not take away the rights of its citizens.
When the 13 British colonies in North America formed, each started its own government. Every colony had a limited and representative government. The government leaders of the colonies reported to Parliament and the king. The British government decided to make the colonies pay more taxes. The colonists were angry because they had no representatives to speak for them in Parliament. They thought it was unfair to be taxed, and they said, “No taxation without representation!” The colonists began to boycott most goods made in Great Britain, but Parliament kept passing new tax laws.
