Which document insisted that colonists grievances about taxes and proper repesentation in parliament be addressed and their rights to be respected?
The document that insisted on addressing colonists' grievances about taxes and proper representation in Parliament is the "Declaration of Rights and Grievances," adopted by the First Continental Congress in 1774. This document outlined the colonists' objections to British taxation and governance, asserting their rights as Englishmen. It called for the repeal of oppressive laws and emphasized the need for respect for colonial rights, setting the stage for further resistance against British rule.
How did the British define no taxation without representation?
The British didn't define this. They perceived that there was no need for a bunch of (American) colonisst to have representation, since they thought that their governing status was just fine. It was the American colonists who stated that they did not want to pay taxes to the British unless their interests were adequately represented in Parliament. When this idea was rejected, the conditions for revolution ripened.
Great Britain raised taxes to pay for?
After the British, with the help of the colonists, had defeated the French in the French and Indian War (1756-1763), they acquired much more territory in need of protection against Indian attacks, including not only soldiers but forts and weapons. The British were deeply in debt from the war. 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.
Why does parliament have the power to impose taxes on British colonies?
Parliament has the power to impose taxes on British colonies primarily because they are considered subjects of the British Crown and are governed under British law. The principle of "virtual representation" was asserted, arguing that the colonies were represented in Parliament, even if they did not have direct representatives. This taxation authority was also rooted in the need to fund British military protection and administration in the colonies. Ultimately, the belief in parliamentary sovereignty meant that Parliament held the right to legislate and tax for the entire empire.

Why did the British levy taxes against the colonists?
The reason any government levies taxes--to pay for services. In this case the taxes paid for the Redcoat's salaries, their guns, cannons, ships, etc. Part of the money also paid for the normal services any government must provide--courts, law enforcement, infrastructure, etc. And don't forget good old King George. He must get his share. That is his right, as the King of England. It would be interesting to see the breakdown of where the tax money went.

What were some of the ways colonists protested the Britain taxes?
Another way instead of the Boston Tea Party that colonists might have done to protest the Tea Act was not buying the British tea. If many colonists didn't buy tea from Britain or just stop drinking it then the British wouldn't be making a profit from that sale and this would anger them because they need money. Maybe the British would lower the prices or make a compromise with the colonies.

What persuasive technique does Paine use to develop his main idea?
Thomas Paine used persuasive techniques such as figurative language. His analogies compare King George to a 'common burglar.' He used words to imply a need for urgency such as, 'we must act now to assure we aren't subjugated any more by the king and Parliament.' He creates an argument that God only loves the colonists, not the British to imply the colonists are on a higher plane than are the British.
