How did the colonists feel about the taxes Why did they feel that way

Explanation:

Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes, because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their own colonial governments.

The colonists felt that the tax laws were unfair largely because the colonies did not have sufficient representation in Parliament. This meant that it was difficult for the colonists to make Parliament understand the difficulty that the tax laws imposed in the distant colonies. Outside of this unfairness, the tax laws were unpopular was due to the economic impact they had. The Sugar Act, for instance, really squeezed the New England rum industry: by raising the costs of inputs and increasing enforcement to prevent smuggling, the taxes required an increase in the price of rum. However, an increase in the price of rum was not possible because it would have made the rum less competitive. Other taxes caused similar issues in different industries.
