I believe that it is unfair for Britain to tax the colonies because the colonies did not have adequate representation in parliament. In addition, Britain's needs were put in front of the colonies, so the colonies' interests were not equally considered by the parliament, so the idea of virtual representation was flawed.

I believe it is unfair that Britain decides the taxes put forth on us. I believe that if we were to pay these taxes, we should have some say on the price of the taxes. However, since we have no representatives in the parliament, the taxes that we pay are entirely decided by the receiver of the tax money. This leads to over taxing which is unfair for us. - Michael M.

From the perspective of an American Colonist, the British is violating the freedom of the colonies as they keep benefiting from the colonies for the mother country. American colonists don't wanna pay the British for nothing in return.

What have we been given in return?  Straining our local economies for the already prosperous mainland without the support to stand on our own will hardly be beneficial for all.

I think it is fair, since they went into debt fighting the 7 year war which was to help the colonies.

I believe that it is not fair for Britain to tax the Colonies because they do not have a representative in the Britian government. They do not have a say, and their beliefs do not align. - Mia

They were taxed but had no choice in what the money was going towards. Taxation without representation. -Michael B

I slightly agree because the people in the British colonies are from Britain. The main reason why the Sugar Act was introduced was to stop the widespread smuggling by colonial merchants. The Prime Minister had to do something about that.

I think it war fair that Britain taxed the colonies, as their people are in North America.

I disagree. I believe that it was unfair for the British to tax the colonies. This is because the colonists had no representation in the parliament. Additionally, the British neglected their colonies. They left the colonies to largely govern themselves and didn't help them. Therefore, it was not right of them to get the money from the colonies. - Keena

I agree. It is fair for Britain to tax the US because at this point in time, America was somewhat of a colony of Britain. The purpose of colonies is to financially aid the mother country. Additionally, Americans had been evading the Navigation Act for some time, so the British needed some way to get money.

They are fair developments, primarily based in the core value of responsibility. The Sugar Act enacted in 1764 was created due to widespread smuggling. If we hadn’t smuggled and evaded taxes for the Navigation Acts, then we might have avoided the Sugar Act, but now we are paying for our choices with harsher regulations. We have to take responsibility for our actions and face the consequences.

Upset by the lack of representation in parliament, I probably would find it unfair for them to tax me when I get little say in the state of affairs. Although, the taxing itself isn't the problem:
"No taxation without representation"
