Yes, James Otis argued that the colonists should not be taxed by Parliament without their consent. He famously stated that "taxation without representation is tyranny," emphasizing that the colonists, lacking direct representation in Parliament, should not be subjected to British taxes. His arguments helped galvanize colonial opposition to British taxation and contributed to the growing sentiment for independence.

Why were all acts accepted except tax on tea?

Actually, they weren't. The difference was that the Tea Act was written in a way to try to look like something other than a tax, but also so if the colonists accepted it, the British Parliament would argue that they had accepted the power of Parliament to tax them without representation. Colonists who understood the world situation also objected to the tax because it was a move by Parliament to bail out the British East India Company by raising money from the colonists. Giant corporations were regarded as oppressing the colonists along with the Crown, so fighting the tea tax was a fight against two evils at once.

How did England use virtual representation as an excuse for denying colonials representation in Parliament?

England used the concept of virtual representation to argue that the interests of the American colonists were adequately represented in Parliament, even though they did not have direct representatives. This theory posited that all members of Parliament represented the entire empire, including the colonies, regardless of whether colonists could vote for them. Consequently, the British government believed that it was justified in imposing taxes and laws on the colonies without their consent, claiming that their needs were considered through this broader representation. This rationale ultimately fueled colonial discontent and the demand for direct representation.
