Detailed explanation-1: -The American colonies raised the slogan ‘No Taxation without Representation’. It means the colonists did not think they should be taxed unless they had representation in the British Parliament.
Detailed explanation-2: -In short, many colonists believed that as they were not represented in the distant British parliament, any taxes it imposed on the colonists (such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts) were unconstitutional, and were a denial of the colonists’ rights as Englishmen.
Detailed explanation-3: -The phrase taxation without representation describes a populace that is required to pay taxes to a government authority without having any say in that government’s policies. The term has its origin in a slogan of the American colonials against their British rulers: “Taxation without representation is tyranny."1.
Detailed explanation-4: -The English Bill of Rights of 1689 had forbidden the imposition of taxes without the consent of Parliament. Since the colonists had no representation in Parliament the taxes violated the guaranteed Rights of Englishmen. That is what the motto of 1750-1760 means, “No taxation without representation.”
