Accusing people of disloyalty without proof
McCarthyism
It says that all thirten colonies were united under the common idea that they have absolved all allegiance to the British crown and were independent and free to do as any other free and independent soveriegn nation has the ability to do. Answer by Msena 21 No taxation without representation means that since the colonists were not represented in British Parlaiment, and therefor had no power at all they should not have to pay tax to Britain. In other words, they felt they owed Britain nothing for they had no privaleges. I do not know what the exact phrase is in the declaration though. Answer by anonymous yet reliable resource (p.s. Msena 21 is very wrong, she is talking about the declaration of independence, not the meaning of no taxation without representation or what the actual phrase is)
American colonists objected to British taxes because the colonists had no vote on the taxes and no representation in the British parliament. The colonists' catchphrase for protests was "taxation without representation", because they were being taxed without representation in the parliament and that's why they were mad.
representation
the Declaration of Independence.
Virtual Representation was rejected by the colonists and their delegates when Parliament began taxing them without their consent - remember: "no taxation without representation"

1. parliament had interfered in colonists directly 2. it taxed the colonists without their consent
The colonists were upset because it was taxation without representation, meaning that the colonists were not represented in Parliament so the tax was done without colonial consent.
