People opposed the Sugar Act primarily because it imposed new taxes on imported goods without their consent, violating the principle of "no taxation without representation." The Act also aimed to crack down on smuggling, which angered merchants and colonial traders who relied on these practices for their livelihoods. Additionally, many colonists felt that such legislation threatened their economic interests and autonomy, leading to widespread resentment against British authority.
