Why did the American colonists feel as though the British were taking away their natural rights

They felt this way because so many unjust acts were passed onto them by Parliament without any say of their own colonial government

Explanation:

Many of the acts that were passed were unconstitutional. Some of these include:

Proclamation of 1763 - this prohibited the colonists from settling west of the Appalachians and colonists who had already settled west were forced to move back eastQuartering Act - the colonists were forced to quarter British troops in their homes, while they were already being taxed to pay for provisions of the armyStamp Act - the colonists felt like this was "taxation without representation" because they were being taxed without their consent... the colonists didn't even have their own members a part of their decision making! Sugar Act - this disrupted the colonies' economy because there was an increase in the cost of imported items and a reduction of exports to non-British companies
