Representation
Colonists had no one representing them in British parliament. Their money was taken away from them by people living an ocean away who had no idea what their lives were like and how they struggled and their money went to a country that cared little about them and did little to support them. No one in Parliament was on their side. Taxation should never happen without representation.
