Question

what were the direct causes of the american revolution? select three options. colonists rights were restricted. colonists were not represented in parliament. colonists didnt want england ruling from far away. colonists were frustrated with high taxation. colonists had a negative reaction to the boston tea party.

Explanation:

The American Revolution was spurred by several grievances of the colonists. Restricted rights, lack of parliamentary representation, and high - taxation were direct causes. Lack of representation meant they had no say in laws and taxes. High taxes like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts angered them. Rights such as self - governance were restricted. The colonists disliked being ruled from afar as it led to policies not in their interest. The Boston Tea Party was an action by the colonists, not a cause they reacted negatively to.

Answer:

Colonists’ rights were restricted.
Colonists were not represented in Parliament.
Colonists were frustrated with high taxation.
