Bell Ringer: Review Journal 27 - A: Before 1763 colonists never really paid any attention to Parliament’s “right to lay taxes and duties” in the colonies because the “right to lay internal taxes was never supposed to be in Parliament, as we are not represented there.” By 1770 Franklin recognized that representation was central to the imperial debate because of the succession of internal taxes levied by Parliament.
