Answer:

The colonists thought Parliament had no right to tax them directly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The colonists believe that the British Parliament had no right to tax them directly because they did not have any representation in the British Parliament. This way they created the motto “no taxation without representation” because they wanted to have a representative of the colonies in the British Parliament.
