∙ 15y agoIn some ways the British were justified in taxing the colonists. The British stationed its army there to keep the French and Indians from trying to take over. Other governmental functions were provided by Britain that had to be paid for in some way. The taxation itself could have been justifiable but it was that it was without representation that the Americans objected to. They just wanted to have some say in those matters instead of having tax after tax imposed on them.

England wanted to keep control of the colonies. Colonists wanted to be separate from England.
