Why did the colonists use the phrase no taxation without representation?
The colonists were British people, and as such, they felt entitled to elected representation in the British Parliament. The British government did not see things that way, and so there were no Members of Parliament from the colonies. "No taxation without representation" is the colonists' encapsulation of their demand to be treated as British citizens.

Why did the people of Boston dislike the British soldiers?
The Bostinians were angry with the British troops in their town because the British were taxing them heavily in order to pay for the cost of the French and Indian war.

Should the colonists stay british?
No, because if they hadn't then we would have been heavily taxed, we wouldn't be allowed to own firearms to defend ourselves (the bad guys would still have them), and there wouldn't be as much racial tolerance in the United States.
How were the American colonists justified in leaving the English empire?
It depends on whom you ask. The British would say that colonists had no right at all to leave the empire. They viewed their colonists as being ungrateful brats with a pee-pants attitude. They came to this conclusion after the French and Indian war. The British paid heavily with their lives, and with their money to defeat the French and expand their empire in North America. They expected the colonists to help them pay for the expenses through taxation. The colonists were angered by all of the taxes, and the continued presence of British Red Coats after the war was over. The colonists felt justified in leaving the empire because they strongly believed in "no taxation without representation." The British Parliament had no colonial representitives in it, nor did they want colonial representitives.
