Why was benjamin franklin told never to accept a deal for representation in parliament

Benjamin Franklin opposed a deal for representation in parliament as he was defending the interests of colonialists, which were protesting against direct taxation by the British. This political episode was known as "Stamp Act Crisis" of 1766.
