The British colonies were established to further the interests of Britain and populated with emigrants from Britain, so they were always taxed from the beginning. By the time of the American Revolution, the King of Great Britain did not hold much real power and he was just a figure head. It was Parliament who decided what taxes and laws to impose upon the colonies. Parliament consists of MPs (members of parliament) that were elected (at this time, only by the rich). However, the colonists were not able to vote in these elections and this is why they felt they were being taxed without representation.
