Colonists were upset about the new taxes imposed by Great Britain because they felt it violated their rights as Englishmen to be taxed without representation in Parliament. The phrase "no taxation without representation" became a rallying cry, emphasizing their belief that only their own colonial assemblies should have the authority to levy taxes.
