    The colonists were being taxed without their consent is the reason some American colonists called for independence.

    Explanation:

    After the war with French and Indians, the Britain Parliament was heavily burdened with the war debt and this made the king and British parliament to levy taxes on their colonies in the American soil. So they have formulated new taxes and laws and made life difficult for colonies.

    The colonies felt that the taxes are not relevant to their region and besides this, the laws and taxes were passed in the British parliament, not by their colonial government. So, they were against paying the taxes and they felt that it is illegal. Because of this, the unrest led to the American colony's independence.
