The colonists thought Parliament had no right to tax them directly.
The colonists' main objection to British Parliament's taxation policies was the principle of "no taxation without representation." They believed it was unjust to be taxed by a government in which they had no elected representatives, as they felt their rights as Englishmen were being violated. This lack of political voice led to widespread resentment and ultimately fueled the desire for independence. The taxes imposed, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, were seen as oppressive and burdensome, exacerbating tensions between the colonies and Britain.
