Why does parliament have the power to impose taxes on British colonies?

Parliament has the power to impose taxes on British colonies primarily because they are considered subjects of the British Crown and are governed under British law. The principle of "virtual representation" was asserted, arguing that the colonies were represented in Parliament, even if they did not have direct representatives. This taxation authority was also rooted in the need to fund British military protection and administration in the colonies. Ultimately, the belief in parliamentary sovereignty meant that Parliament held the right to legislate and tax for the entire empire.
