To help pay British debts from the French and Indian War, Parliament placed a tax on sugar, molasses, and other products shipped to the colonies. The taxes made these products more expensive.

Colonists saw the act as a threat to their political rights. Colonists argued that Parliament did not have the right to tax the colonists and that no tax should be created without their consent.

Because because of the Sugar Act, the colonists felt that taxation without representation wasn't fair. Does that help you with the question?
