How did the idea and practice of self-government develop?

The king was taxing the people too much and the people wanted freedom.

Explanation:

Depending on what year, Im going to say that when the king (i forgot his name) was losing money from a war he decided to tax and take supplies from the Americans. After that, the people of American stopped giving Britian (?) tax money and supplies.

Im not sure if I got this right sorry for any mistakes.
