No, colonists did not elect members of the British Parliament. The Parliament represented the interests of Britain, and colonists had no direct representation within it, leading to the famous slogan "no taxation without representation." This lack of representation contributed to growing tensions between the colonies and Britain, ultimately culminating in the American Revolution.
The colonists' relationship with Britain was signified through a series of events and symbols, such as the Boston Tea Party, which represented resistance to British taxation without representation. The use of the slogan "No taxation without representation" illustrated their growing discontent and desire for self-governance. Additionally, the Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence marked a formal rejection of British authority, emphasizing the colonists' aspiration for independence and their commitment to establishing their own identity separate from Britain.

Primarily the Colonists argued that because they had no voice in the distant British Parliament they should not be subjected to British taxes (and some other British demands). The slogan was, "No taxation without representation." Then when Britain decided to require the Colonists pay taxes to help with the debts Britain incurred in their war with France, the Colonists rebelled.
A slogan for the Intolerable Acts could be "No Taxation Without Representation!" This phrase encapsulates the colonists' outrage at being taxed by the British Parliament without having any say in the laws that affected them. The Intolerable Acts were a series of punitive measures imposed by the British government in response to the Boston Tea Party, further fueling the colonists' resentment and ultimately leading to the American Revolutionary War.
