Answer 1

Many colonists felt little reason for troops to be posted in the colonies after the French and Indian War concluded. In order to pay for its war debts, Britain still needed capital. The King and Parliament felt that they were entitled to tax the colonies. They objected, arguing that, as British citizens, these taxes violated their rights.
