Why would people declare independence from their government?

Explanation:

During the 1950s, the explosion of Suburban development made spurred automobile purchases even further and increased Americans' dependence on their cars. They increasingly drove to suburban shopping malls, in addition to going to drive-in moves and fast food restaurants that offered drive-through service. With people increasingly patronizing those businesses, other businesses, typically in older, inner-city neighborhoods, struggle to attract customers.
