The ultimate colonial objection to the Sugar Act was that it was taxation without representation. The colonists were being taxed from Great Britain without someone representing their rights and ideas in Parliament in London. They were also unfairly being taxed to bring more money into the colonial superpower, instead of it being used for the Thirteen Colonies.
