Why does Patrick Henry feel that the stamp act and other British tax laws are unlawful?

Patrick Henry believes that the Stamp Act and other British tax laws are unlawful because they impose taxation without representation, violating the rights of the American colonists. He argues that only their own colonial assemblies have the authority to levy taxes on them, as they do not have direct representation in the British Parliament. Henry views these laws as an infringement on their liberties and a means of oppressing the colonies, fueling his call for resistance against British authority.

This was part of Henry's argument for the colonies to mobilize and prepare for military action against Britain. The desired effect was accomplished. The entire quote is as follows: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give me Liberty or Give me Death!"
