What is taxation without representation?
Is a situation in which a government imposes taxes on a particular group of its citizens. It was all around in the 1700 were the colonist were angry because they were imposed new taxes without having no one in the Parliament to speak for them, due to all the imported opinions and fundamental were represented in the Parliament.Also that taxation related decisions were made by people living across an ocean, unaware of concerns in their colony. So the colonial leaders argued that the colonies had no one to represent them so they dont have the right to tax them. The tax that really upset the Americans was the Stamp Act, which required the purchase of stamps which we mentioned before what it consist of. Another reason why was imposed is because incidentally the taxes represented an effort by the King to pay off the costs incurred by England in the French and Indian War that brought a double debt that made the Empire levied taxes on colonist.They all believed that colonist take off their properties and political rights. The Amercian Colonist were scared that the British didn´t tax themselves. Maybe the colonist were looking for a law that was equal for everyone yet we dont find it.
We can translade No Taxation without Representation to No Taxation by Parliament or were colonists who had no voice in the matter.
