Answer:

The American colonists objected to paying taxes to the British government because the colonists had no direct representation in Parliament, as shown in their motto "no taxation without representation".

Explanation:

No taxation without representation is a motto originated between the decades of 1750 and 1760 that collected the complaints of the colonists of the Thirteen Colonies towards the British authorities. Many of the American settlers considered that, since they were not directly represented in the British Parliament, any law that approved the creation of taxes on settlers (such as the Sugar Law or the Stamp Act) was illegal under the Bill of Rights of 1689. This was one of the main causes of the American Revolution. The importance of this principle has been key in the development of constitutional law.

The Supreme Court said Mr. Reynolds could not break the law while practicing his religion.

Reynolds v. the United States was heard by the Supreme Court in 1878 in regard the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act placed on the Utah Territory.

Reynolds argued that preventing him to marry more than one woman was a violation of his First Amendment rights to protection of religion. The Supreme Court concluded that he had the right to his belief but he could not go around the law to practice his faith. The law stated marriage was to be between two people only and therefore he could not be married to more than one woman.
