England imposed the Townshend Acts to raise revenue to govern the colonies. Taxes were placed on such items as glass, paper, and tea.
An import tax was placed on items like glass and paint.
Colonists protested against taxes on goods in a few ways; some were peaceful, others weren't. The most famous example of a tax protest was the Boston Tea Party, but there were other ways of protesting. Colonists wrote letters to their local newspapers, boycotted goods, smuggled, petitioned Parliament and Royal governors, tarred and feathered the tax men, etc.
Taxation without representation refers to the British Parliament's disregard of the colonies. The colonists believed in real representation: a representative must be from the same region that he is representing. However, the members of Parliament had never been to the colonies. They simply assumed the colonial support (virtual representation). The Stamp Act was the first revenue oriented tax that Britain had imposed on the colonies. The colonists were not accustomed to external taxes, as they had a system of self-taxation. This tax caused great opposition in the colonies.
Parliament was a British legislation Colonial gov't is an example of Congress
One example is that Henry list all the peaceful measures the colonists have taken to avoid conflict with the British.

by taxing the colonists. for example, the sugar act, stamp act, and townshend act.

What the colonists did to protect themselves from the actions of Parliament between 1765 and 1775 was to protest. They also refused to import the English goods. A good example of this was the Boston Tea Party.
Colonists in America became increasingly angry with King George III and the English Parliament in the years before the Revolutionary War. Much of this anger was caused because the colonists were given no representation in the government regarding issues such as taxation. Parliament passed many laws taxing the colonies without their agreement and these taxes became very burdensome.
The possessive form of the plural noun colonists is colonists'.Example: These are examples of the earliest colonists' dwellings.
The Townshend Act was passed because they wanted to make sure that there was an "indirect" tax. An indirect tax is when the tax itself is included in the product's price. For example, glass, paper, tea, etc. I really do hope I helped you!! <33

Representation Colonists had no one representing them in British parliament. Their money was taken away from them by people living an ocean away who had no idea what their lives were like and how they struggled and their money went to a country that cared little about them and did little to support them. No one in Parliament was on their side. Taxation should never happen without representation.
