Document 1: Why did Whately ( and probably most other English officials) fell that the American colonists should be willing to pay higher taxes to Parliament?

Why did he object to the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts?

The Townshend Acts were also meeting with resistance in the colonies, they didn’t know what was going on whatsoever.
