Introduction to Colonial Opposition

The phrase 'No Taxation Without Representation' became a central slogan in the American colonies' resistance to British taxation policies. Colonists argued that since they had no representatives in the British Parliament, they should not be taxed without their consent. This idea challenged the authority of the British government and fueled protests, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, which taxed paper, tea, and other goods. These acts led to increased tensions and calls for independence.
