Yes, I am sure. The phrase **"For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent"** explicitly highlights one of the key reasons why the colonists were unhappy with British rule: the lack of representation in Parliament meant they had no voice in decisions that directly affected them, particularly concerning taxation.
While other excerpts point to issues like denying laws and transporting individuals for trials, the taxation issue is a hallmark grievance associated with the broader concept of representation, making it the clearest expression of their discontent related to lack of representation in Parliament.
