Some colonists felt that Britain had no right to tax them because they had no representations in parliament. The colonists felt that this was against their rights as British citizens.
The colonists opposed the Sugar Act because it was the first time they received an internal tax directly and felt that it was a major tax hike. Prior to that act, they were taxed lower and indirectly.

∙ 9y agoThe Sugar Act was the first attempt England made to tax the colonies. The act put heavy taxes on goods that merchants imported into the colonies and it enforced harsh punishments for those who smuggled against England. In short, it hurt the colonial merchants business and crippled the economy of the colonies.
