In Colonial America, the various colonial governments generally functioned as scaled-back models of the representative parliamentarian government of Great Britain. Drawing from a limited pool of potential officials (ordinarily, well-to-do or otherwise notable males of European descent) who were elected or appointed to public positions, the colonies governed most local affairs through general assemblies and a wide variety of individual offices.

What led to the british raising taxes on the American colonies in 1760?

The British raised taxes on the American colonies in the 1760s primarily to address the massive debt incurred during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) and to fund the ongoing costs of defending and administering the colonies. The British government believed that the colonies should contribute to these expenses, leading to measures like the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Townshend Acts of 1767. These taxes, imposed without colonial representation in Parliament, fueled resentment and ultimately contributed to the American Revolution.
