Who did the colonist believe had the legal authority to tax them?

At first, the colonists accepted the idea that their mother country, England, had the right to levy taxes. But then, the king began making very unpopular decisions and raising those taxes, without giving the colonists any say in the process. The colonists believed this was unfair-- they were being asked to subsidize what the king wanted to do, yet they were not allowed to vote or express their disagreement with him. So, they gradually came to believe he did not have the right to tax them without giving them the right to be represented in parliament. Even though the British king, through his Royal Governors, had the authority to collect the taxes, that did not mean the American colonists were happy about it; this led to the Revolutionary War.
