Why does parliament have the power to impose taxes on British colonies?
Parliament has the power to impose taxes on British colonies primarily because they are considered subjects of the British Crown and are governed under British law. The principle of "virtual representation" was asserted, arguing that the colonies were represented in Parliament, even if they did not have direct representatives. This taxation authority was also rooted in the need to fund British military protection and administration in the colonies. Ultimately, the belief in parliamentary sovereignty meant that Parliament held the right to legislate and tax for the entire empire.

The Declaratory Act, passed by the British Parliament in 1766, asserted its authority to legislate for the American colonies "in all cases whatsoever," effectively reaffirming British control over colonial governance. This act was a response to the successful boycott of British goods, as it aimed to demonstrate that Parliament would not be intimidated by colonial resistance. By asserting its right to tax and legislate for the colonies, the act sought to undermine the colonial claim to self-governance and deter further boycotts. Ultimately, it intensified tensions between Britain and the colonies, setting the stage for future conflicts.
