Answer 1

The phrase "No taxation without representation" refers to **the idea that colonists should not be taxed by the British Parliament without having their own representatives**. This slogan became a rallying cry for American colonists who were opposed to the taxes imposed by the British government, arguing that they should have a say in the decisions that affected them.
