The phrase "No Taxation without Representation" refers to a key grievance of the American colonists against British rule in the 18th century. It encapsulated their belief that it was unfair for them to be taxed by the British Parliament, in which they had no elected representatives. This disagreement was a driving force behind the American Revolution, as colonists sought to establish their own government that would allow them to have a voice in taxation and other laws affecting them. Ultimately, it emphasized the principle that legitimate government requires the consent of the governed.
