Taxation Without Representation

In the 1760s the British Parliament placed new taxes on the colonies. (which means angry colonists because
nobody enjoys paying taxes ... and even more if you are not used to like in the case of the colonists)
there were many Acts (taxes) some were: 

• 1764 Sugar Act
• 1765 Stamp Act
• 1765 Quatering Act

They thought they couldn't be taxed because the y didn't had a representation in the Parliament. What is even worse is that the parliament could not understand what were


the colonies arguing about, because they thought they had the right to tax them.
