The conflict over taxes between American colonists and the British government was rooted in the lack of representation in Parliament, leading to the demand for fair taxation policies.
The ongoing conflict between American colonists and taxes stemmed from the colonists' belief that while it was acceptable for Parliament to impose taxes to regulate trade, levying taxes to raise revenues was not justified. The colonists felt that since they were not represented in Parliament, they should not be subject to taxes passed by that body, leading to the famous slogan 'No taxation without representation!'
