What power did citizens in England have to protest against Parliament's decision that the colonists did not?]
 * Was England justified in taxing the colonists or was it //**tyranny**// (abuse of gov’t power)?
 * Were the colonists in the right, or in the wrong, for opposing and protesting British tax attempts?
 * How could the conflict between the colonists and England have been avoided or better resolved? Explain.
