Hence, without representation, they protested, they would allow no taxation.

What is an example of taxation without representation?

An example of taxation without representation is the situation faced by American colonists before the Revolutionary War, particularly with the Stamp Act of 1765. The British government imposed taxes on the colonies without granting them any representatives in the Parliament, which led to widespread protests and the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation." This principle highlighted the colonists' belief that they should not be taxed by a government in which they had no voice or vote.
