Colonists opposed writs of assistance because **they thought it violated their rights**. These writs were general search warrants that allowed British customs officials to search for smuggled goods without specifying the place or items being searched, which many colonists viewed as a violation of their rights to privacy and protection against arbitrary government actions.
