Many colonists believed the tax laws imposed by the British government were fair because they were designed to help pay off debts from the French and Indian War and to fund the protection of the colonies. They also felt that as British subjects, they had a responsibility to contribute to the maintenance of the empire. However, this sentiment was complicated by the lack of representation in Parliament, leading to the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation" as they ultimately viewed the laws as unjust. Thus, while some initially saw the taxes as fair, the broader context of governance and representation sparked widespread dissent.
