The Parliament sought to create new taxes in the colonies primarily to address the financial burdens incurred during the French and Indian War, which had significantly increased Britain's national debt. They believed that the colonies, benefiting from British protection and trade, should contribute to the costs of their governance and defense. Additionally, imposing taxes was seen as a way to assert British authority over the colonies and maintain control. This led to widespread resentment and resistance among colonists, who argued against taxation without representation.
