Question

What does “no taxation without representation” mean? Please respond using complete sentences

Answer 1

The phrase "no taxation without representation" refers to the idea that citizens should not be taxed by a government unless they have a say in the decision-making process through elected representatives. It originated during the American Revolutionary period, where the American colonists protested against British rule as they did not have a voice in the British Parliament, yet were subjected to various taxes imposed by the British government.
