Parliament levied taxes on imported goods for several reasons, primarily to raise revenue to pay off debts incurred during the French and Indian War and to fund British military presence in the colonies. The taxes, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, were also intended to assert British authority over the colonies and regulate trade. Colonists viewed these taxes as unfair since they were imposed without their consent, leading to widespread protests and the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation." This tension ultimately contributed to the growing desire for independence among the colonists.
