Jefferson and other revolutionaries had the battlecry "no taxation without representation". Really, they didn't want taxes. However, they felt that they needed to be directlyrepresented, which is how the United States is set up today. Parliament had indirect or virtual representation, that is, they represented the whole empire and did what they thought was good for the entire British Empire as opposed to the region they came from.
