Understanding 'No Taxation Without Representation'

The phrase 'No Taxation Without Representation' was a central slogan used by American colonists to protest against British taxation policies. Colonists argued that they should not be taxed by the British Parliament because they had no representatives in Parliament to speak for them. This idea became a symbol of colonial resistance and the fight for their rights as English subjects.
