Answer:

They felt the taxes violated their rights as British citizens.

Step-by-step explanation:

The colonists in Maryland didn't want to pay the king's taxes after the French and Indian war, especially since they had no representation (voice) in the English government, because "they felt the taxes violated their rights as British citizens."

Also, just like other American colonists at the time, they felt that those taxes are high and "Intolerable, " for them to pay.
