Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams were both prominent figures in the American Revolution who strongly opposed British taxation without representation. Henry famously declared, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" emphasizing the belief that taxation imposed by a distant government was unjust when colonists had no voice in that government. Adams, a key organizer of resistance, argued that taxes levied by Parliament infringed on the rights of the colonists, advocating for the principle that only their own colonial assemblies should have the authority to impose taxes. Together, they galvanized public sentiment against British rule and laid the groundwork for the revolutionary movement.
