Parliament is Great Britain's law making body. Parliament decides all the laws for Great Britain.

At the time of the Revolution, King George III ran all the Parliament meetings. Parliament was created by the King. Seats in Parliament could be bought and sold by tickets. The people in the colonies had many problems with Parliament. Parliament was making laws that were unfair. For instance, Parliament taxed the colonies because they saw that there was a lot of money being made in the colonies, but they didn't tax Great Britain.

Parliament made these laws for the colonies. People in the colonies thought these laws were unfair, and these acts finally led to the Revolutionary War. The Stamp Act, the Sugar Act, and the ones the colonists called the Intolerable Acts were acts that the colonists fought against.
