why might the king have ignored the colonists petitions for redress?

The King might have ignored the colonists petitions for redress because he believed he was well within his authority to impose the imperial policies that the British were imposing on the colonists. Additionally the British believed that they had protected and taken care of the colonists in a number of wars and therefore deserved to be paid through taxes for the services they had provided. In addition the King had numerous other colonies and wanted to prevent any of the colonies from believing they had the ability or right for self government.

The Continental Congress sent a petition to the king George III for the readdress of colonists in 1774.

This petition was to inform the king that if oppression wasn't forced upon the colonies by the British government , the Americans would be standing behind the rulers.

Views of the king over petition

  • The king was of the view that he can control and impose the policies by himself.

  • No need for tax consideration to the British government.

  • The king does not wanted other colonies to think that they can govern their colony by themselves.

The king ignored the petition and didn't even responded for months.

Therefore in the light of above discussion we can say that the king ignored the petition for redress by British government.
