Answer:

Britain also needed money to pay for its war debts. The King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies. ... Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes, because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their own colonial governments.

Answer:

in Britain, it was felt that the colonists were outside the responsibilities which every Briton had to bear and that the colonies were too far removed from the core of British experience to be left alone. By extending the duties of the average Briton to the United States—including the duty to pay taxes—the whole unit would be better off.
