Britain colonised Australia!\n\nNot the answer you wanted? Well, step by step (you in the USA can do this better then me). \n\nColonists wanted representation, fair enough.\nBritain said NO!\nBoston tea party. (milk and two please)\nWar of independance.\nNo tax to Britain.\nBritain declaares war.\nThe birth of the USA.\nAt this time Britain needed somewhere to send its prisoners as they could no longer send them to the colonies.\nSent them to "The Great South Land of the Holy Ghost" and Australia was born. Thanks Paul Revere and all the other Republicans. Praise God for Republicians!

do you mean the 'American Revolution'?\n\nwell the first reason is the Quartering Act. the quartering act is an act that made colonists quarter, or house, british soldiers in their homes.\n\nanother reason is the Proclamation (think mispell) of 1763. it prevented colonists from moving wesword past the appalation mountains. it violated their rights as britians.\n\nTHe third reason is the Sugar Act. THe sugar act is simply a tax on sugar, molasses (which is syurp) and other sugar products. this angered the colonists because colonists loved to drink tea with sugar. \n\nThe fourth reason is the Stamp Act. THe stamp act is a replacement for the Sugar Act. I am unshure about when the stamp act was repealed, though. the stamp act is a tax on legal documents, stamps, even playing cards, etc. (pretty much any product that has paper in/on/ or is paper\n\nThe townshed act is another reason. i dont know what it exactly did, but it isnt a tax. i think it was a limit on what the things that colonists can do.\n\nThe Blockade of Boston Harbor is another reason. it was a wall of ships that blocked ships (mainly ships that carryed imports) from coming into the colonists.\n\nthere are many other reasons why, but these are main reasons

The intolerable acts. it closed the boston port until the tea was paid for. It also required colonists to house british troops, and gave royal officials more power.

Well, the early colonies didn't have techonoly, cars, music like today, movies, clothes, food, the knowledge, and the books that we have today. There are PLENTY of changes from today and the colonies. It's pretty simple if you sit down and think about it.

By the middle of the 1700s, the 13 colonies that made up part of England's empire in the New World were finding it difficult to be ruled by a king 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. They were tired of the taxes imposed upon them. But independence was a gradual and painful process. The colonists could not forget that they were British citizens and that they owed allegiance to King George III. \n\nVirginia took the first step toward independence by voting to set up a committee to represent the colonies. The First Continental Congress met in September of 1774. They drew up a list of grievances against the crown which became the first draft of a document that would formally separate the colonies from England.\n\nThe unanimous Declaration of the thirteen (original) United States of America was drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776.\n\nIn Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress presented & debated a second draft of the document. Independence Day is celebrated on July 4 because that is the day when the Continental Congress ADOPTED the FINAL draft. \n\nThe 'Declaration of Independence' served to "...publish and declare that [the United States] are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; and that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown."\n\nFrom July 8, 1776, until the next month, the document was read publicly and people celebrated whenever they heard it. The next year, in Philadelphia, bells rang and ships fired guns, candles and firecrackers were lighted.\n\nJohn Adams, a lawyer, the first Vice President and the Second President of the United States, was one of the members of the Second Continental Congress who signed the Declaration of Independence. He wrote to his wife, "I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival... it ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other..." \n\nThe new nation was officially recognized following the Treaty of Paris in 1783, and in that year, Independence Day was made an official holiday. In 1941, the U.S. Congress declared the 4th of July a federal holiday.

Broke the absolute power of the king in England, and opened the door for Parliament to eventually form.  Beginnings of what we view as "democracy" in the modern world.

the difference in attitude between the colonists (who wanted their independence) and the parliament/king of england.\n\nalso the belief of indirect representation, which basically means that parliament thought that they could rule the colonies indirectly from overseas, but colonists believed in direct representation

It would be the Royal House of Windsor. If the colonies which became the USA would not have separated from Great Britain they would still be part of the British Commonwealth with Queen Elizabeth II as their Queen. But this just wasn't meant to be.

He's one of the reasons for the United States being a country.  He tried to tax the colonies for the Seven Year's War and they didn't want taxation without representation so the colonists were all like, boo on King George.

The result of the Declaration of Independence was that the people of the 13 colonies no longer saw themselves as subjects to the king of England, and told him as much. Then the American Revolution had offically begun, though there had been some skirmishes before that.

Basically, its about Great Britain. At least that's what this site says......\n\n"AN ACT for the better securing the dependency of his Majesty's dominions in America upon the crown and parliament of Great Britain......"\n\nHope this helps. Good luck with the project!

The answer to your question would be none, unless you consider Great Britain living under the provisions of the Magna Carta (1215) as living under the same government.

The proclamation closed off the frontier to colonial expansion. It was meant to calm the fears of the Indians, who felt that the colonists would drive them from their lands as they expanded westward. However the colonists could not help but feel a strong resentment when what they viewed to be their prize was snatched away from them. The proclamation stated that "all lands west of the heads of all rivers which flowed into the Atlantic Ocean from the west or northwest were off-limits to the colonists." I think the colonists would have been really upset to hear that. The url below is where i found my answer... after alot of reading

They were both once a British Colony

Well, there are lots of ideas in the Declaration, but the main idea is that the people of the 13 colonies (not yet the United States of America) were tired of not being treated equally as British citizens. They were unfairly taxed and had no representation in Parliment ("for imposing taxes on us without our consent").  Many of the specific ideas of the Declaration are jabs at the king, letting the world know why they felt the need to separate from the British thrown (for instance, "He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature"). Many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights are based on things that the king of England did to the colonists.

long and sordid really, started in 1763 with a royal proclimation orgainizing the territories into 4 regions.  The sugar act, currency act, stamp act, quartering act (this one really got the hackles up) Townshend acts (this pissed off a lot of the colonists, paying for the "kings war"), etc etc.\nIt was a conglomoration of a lot of things that built up to a bursting point.

From my understanding the BNA act grated sovereignty to Canada, being that it declared it a self governing nation.   \n\nWith regards tot he taxation system it was declared that no further taxation shall be imposed by the British governing forces as Canada is it's own nation.
