I'm not really sure but I think this is the answer...

They did not think Parliament had the constitutional authority to impose revenue taxes on them

Please read the explanation.... it always helps... i promise

Step-by-step explanation:

So the American colonists were really disappointed that the British parliament imposed taxes on them without their consent. This started the movement known as "the american revolution" along with other factors.

In fact, the colonists called it "taxation without representation"

The colonists thought that the parliament had no right to govern them and that their own government should be in charge of imposing taxes

I really hope this helps!!!!
