Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -“Taxation without representation” is a slogan used to describe being forced by a government to pay a tax without having a say-such as through an elected representative-in the actions of that government.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
