British Parliament and the colonists
Admission to the British parliament
American colonists objected to British taxes because the colonists had no vote on the taxes and no representation in the British parliament. The colonists' catchphrase for protests was "taxation without representation", because they were being taxed without representation in the parliament and that's why they were mad.
The colonists did not want taxes imposed by the british parliament.
British laws that affected the colonies were made by the King and the British Parliament. The colonists had no voice in the laws.
The British were taxing the colonists without representation in Parliament.
The colonists let the Parliament know that they were against british taxes by throwing british goods into the water. This was called the british tea act.
The colonists thought Parliament had no right to tax them directly.
The American colonies were British and followed British law. British law was passed by the British Parliament.

Admission to the British parliament
The British Parliament could have taken several actions to resolve their differences with the colonists and strengthen relations with America. They could have given the colonists representation in Parliament, allowing them a say in the laws that affected them. They could have repealed the various taxation acts that fueled the colonists' grievances. Lastly, they could have engaged in more open and inclusive dialogue with colonial leaders to address their concerns and find common ground.

No taxation without representation in parliament
Never did the British parliament, [until the passage of the Stamp Act] think of imposing.
