Fair representation in Parliament wouldn't have gotten the colonists what they really wanted, they would just have been out voted by other members of Parliament. The colonists felt that if they were to be taxed and forced to comply with British law set by a far-away nation who couldn't understand the needs of the Colonies, that they should at least have a say in what goes on concerning their way of life. It was more of the principle of the matter that really rallied the colonists against the British. This, along with other issues led to the American Revolution which the Colonies fight for their freedom from Great Britain after the British refused to reconize them as an emerging, sovergin nation,
