One significant way the colonists protested against British taxes was through the formation of the Sons of Liberty, a secret society that organized demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience. They famously staged events like the Boston Tea Party in 1773, where they dumped British tea into Boston Harbor to protest the Tea Act. Additionally, colonists boycotted British goods and rallied public opinion against taxation without representation, effectively mobilizing widespread resistance to British policies.
Colonists protested against British taxes with the slogan "No taxation without representation." This phrase expressed their frustration over being taxed by a government in which they had no elected representatives, highlighting their demand for a voice in the legislative process. The slogan became a rallying cry for the American Revolution, emphasizing the principle of consent in governance.
