Other than New England briefly, the Thirteen Colonies were never unified into a single colony and then divided up. They had each originally been a small settlement by Europeans (mostly English, but there were also Dutch and French settlers) and grew into the larger colonies over time.

In the late 1600's, the New England colonies plus New York and New Jersey were indeed briefly united into a single large colony, but it only lasted a couple years because it was just too large to easily govern and the governor was very unpopular.

Which was the main argument used by the British to justify taxing the thirteen colonies?

The main argument used by the British to justify taxing the thirteen colonies was that the colonies benefited from British protection and military support during conflicts, notably the French and Indian War. British officials contended that the colonies should contribute to the costs of this defense and the administration required to govern them. They believed that the taxes were a fair way to ensure that the colonies shared in the expenses of their own security and infrastructure.
