Parliament of Great Britain, for the first time in the history of the American colonies, imposed a tax on the colonies in order to raise revenue without the approval of the colonial legislatures. Previous taxes had been in the form of import duties and had been for the purpose of regulating trade. Because colonists were not allowed to elect representatives to Parliament, and a fundamental principle of the British Constitution was that subjects could be taxed only by decision of their elected legislature, they reasoned that Parliament had no right to tax them.
