Because the British king ignored their concerns and complaints

Explanation:

The United States Declaration of Independence was a formal document indicating the reasons why the Thirteen Colonies were claiming independence from the British Empire. They list 27 grievances the colonists had with the English King, referring to many concerns and complaints being ignored or dismissed by the British Parliament. One of the main concerns was the commonly known issue of taxation without representation. Settlers believed the Parliament had no right to levy taxes from them as their rights were not upheld and had no influence in the Empire's decision making.
