Because they opposed the tea tax and did not want to be branded as followers of the King.
After Parliament repealed the stamp act how did colonists feel about the king?
The Sugar Act placed a tax on a product coming into the colonies. It was a custom duty, a form of tax used to regulate trade. The colonists always acknowledged Parliament's right to enact custom duties, external taxes. The Stamp Act created a direct tax, an internal tax. It was not intended to regulate trade, but to raise money. It was a direct tax placed on a product and the consumer knew that he/she was paying that tax. The colonists claimed Parliament did not have the right to enact direct taxes because the colonists were not represented in Parliament.They felt he was untrustworthy because they approved the Declaratory Act the same day.
