To get tax revenue.
They thought that since they had protected the colonies in the french and Indian war, that they had the right to tax them to pay off the debt.
During the 1700s the only authority that had the power to levy taxes in the American Colonies would have been the King of England along with the British Parliament. At the time of the American Revolution the King was George III. This was just one cause of the Revolution. The Colonies had no Representatives in the Parliament.
The money was to be used to fund the British army in the American Colonies.
They could have allowed the colonies to have representation in the British Parliament. The colonists would not have minded taxation as much had there been representation from the colonies.

To get tax revenue.
They were oppressing taxes on the colonies, and it was causing the colonies money.
The reason that Parliament keeps trying different ways of raising revenue it;s because Britain owed massive debts from the French and Indian War. So if they wanted to pay off these debts, Britain needed more revenue, or income. So they find a way to "earn" money its to raise taxes for the colonies. another way to say it's to let the colonies pay for them.
The main reason given in the Declaration of Independence was a lack of representation in what happens to the people of the colonies (United States) when it comes to trade, taxes, and laws.Hope this helps!Taxes, taxes, taxes, and basically taxes
