No taxation without representation
The colonists considered taxation without representation as tyranny hence the coining of the slogan which captured the reason for the Revolutionary War. This is because the colonists were not allowed to choose representatives to parliament in London, which passed the laws under which they were taxed.
The Origination Clause, sometimes called the Revenue Clause, states that all bills concerning the raising of revenue (as in, tax bills) must start in the House of Representatives.
