The correct answer is: **Colonists had no voice in Parliament.**
The taxes imposed by the British government after the French and Indian War sparked colonial protests primarily because the colonists had no representation in Parliament. This lack of representation led to the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation," as colonists believed it was unfair to be taxed by a government in which they had no voice.

The correct answer is: **Sugar Act - Taxes raised to $.25 - Caught smugglers put in jail without trial.**
The Sugar Act of 1764 imposed higher duties on sugar and molasses imported into the colonies and increased enforcement against smuggling. This angered colonists not only because it raised prices on goods they relied upon but also because it allowed for accused smugglers to be tried in British courts rather than in colonial courts, which they felt undermined their rights.
