Question

Why does parliament have the power to impose taxes on British colonies, according to Greenville

Answer 1

Because it is the head of every thing in the country

Answer 2

George Grenville was the British Prime Minister that defended the policy of taxing the American Colonies following the Sugar Act of 1764 and the Stamp Act of 1765. Grenville defended taxation because he believed that Britain got a large debt fighting the war that protected the colonies, so the colonies should help Britain pay the debt as a form of compensation.
