Dickinson argues against Parliament's passage of internal colonial taxes by asserting that such taxes violate the principle of no taxation without representation. He contends that since the colonies have no elected representatives in Parliament, they should not be subjected to taxes imposed by it. Dickinson emphasizes that these taxes threaten the rights and liberties of the colonists and undermine their self-governance. He advocates for a fair and just system where the colonies can govern their own taxation.
