∙ 11y agobecause they lost the war and they were in dept. they had to make money by taxing the colonists. the colonist thought that this act was very unfair because they had no say
The colonists, like all citizens everyplace, always paid tax. It was not anything "begun". They paid them in Britan, or where ever else they came from, before coming to North America. Many paid substantially more.
Taxes are paid for army, and police, and education and all types of services....all of which the colonists needed a large amount of.
What they objected to was paying MORE tax (on some things) than the other citizens of England did.
Now you decide - was that objection justified?
Didn't the colonists require for say tea from china, more protection of HMS Navy to get it here than there? Didn't it cost more, and they needed more for the English army to stay here and protect them from the natives than in their homes over there?

Why did the colonist feel that taxation was unfair?
They resented having to pay taxes without the ability to participate in government. Hence the saying "No taxation without representation". ---- American colonists felt that the taxes that they had to pay were unfair because of a few reasons. Every little thing was being taxed, including stamps, tea, food, and trade. What was most frustrating was that there was nothing they could do about it. And it was clear that they did not want to pay without having some say in what is going on with these taxes, thus the term was said, "No taxation without representation."
