Why did the colonists consider taxation by parliament an especially serious threat to their freedom as well as to their pocketbooks?

The colonists objected to taxation by Parliament because they were not represented. They had sought representation in Parliament for years without success. It became clear that they were being treated like a conquered people rather than citizens of Britain.


Why did the colonist consider taxation by parliament an especially serious threat to their freedom as well to their pocket books?

The colonists didn't object to all taxes - the problem was that there was no colonial representation in parliament, so many of the taxes levied by England didn't take into account many aspects of the colonial economy/lifestyle. England also began levying especially high taxes to raise revenue without considering any effect on the colonies.
