Since the colonies belonged to them, they were justified in all of them. The colonists didn't mind the taxes, they minded that they didn't get any say.

Since the colonies belonged to them, they were justified in all of them. The colonists didn't mind the taxes, they minded that they didn't get any say.

Step-by-step explanation:

Britain required new tax acts such as the Stamp Acts and the Sugar acts. Nevertheless, the settlers felt threatened by these new rules. Parliament forced the Townshend Act, which raised taxes on carried goods. According to John Dickinson, Parliament was supported in forcing the Stamp Act on the colonies.
