The slogan "No taxation without representation" encapsulated the colonists' grievances regarding taxes imposed by the British Parliament. They believed it was unjust to be taxed without having the right to vote for their representatives in Parliament, which they felt denied them a voice in the decisions that affected their lives. This sentiment fueled the desire for self-governance and ultimately contributed to the push for independence.
