∙ 11y agoGreat Britain was deeply in debt from the French and Indian War (1756-1763) and knew they had to spend more money to provide military protection against Indian attacks in a much larger area, because of land they had won from the French. The British Parliament thought it was reasonable to tax the colonists to help pay for the increased cost of protection, even though it was mostly the British monarchy and not the colonists already in place who would mostly benefit from the expanded territory.
