The new acts Britain imposed on the colonists were not liked. They were protested and hated. The colonists didn't want to be taxed without representation. Britain thought they were being ridiculous. On the other hand colonists thought they were right and they thought Britain was violating there rights. These are the acts that violated the colonists rights. The stamp act of 1765 placed new duties on legal documents such as wills, diplomas, and marriage papers. It also taxed newspapers, almanacs, playing cards, and even dice. The colonist did not like the law because they did not want to pay more taxes. Britain on the other hand thought they should help pay for the costs of the French and Indian war. So colonists said that in the Magna Carta there is a principle that says " No taxation without representation". So since they had no representatives in parliament they could not pass any new taxes on them without them having a say in it. The writs of assistance allowed officers to inspect a person's property without giving a reason. Colonists protested that the writs of assistance violated their rights as British citizens. Under British law, a government official could not search a person's property without having a good reason for suspecting that the person had committed a crime. Colonists angry lily cited the words of James Otis of Massachusetts. The quartering acts was passed so colonists would give soldiers stationed in the colonies housing, candles, bedding, and beverages. Colonists protested against this new law especially. They didn't like this new act because they did not want to keep soldiers or strangers in their houses because they were afraid of them. Colonists refused to obey the law but especially in New York. This act violated the colonists right because in the English bill of rights it says that the people are not responsible for aiding or housing an army. These are the acts that violated the colonists rights. The stamp act violated the colonists rights because in the Magna Carta there is a principle that says " No taxation without representation". The writs of assistance violated colonists rights because under British law, a government official could not search a person's property without having a good reason for suspecting that the person had committed a crime. The quartering acts violated colonists right because in the English Bill of Rights it says that the people are not responsible for aiding or housing an army. These are the reasons why those acts violated colonists rights.
