Answer:

The government should not be permitted to tax its citizens unless they are represented in it.

Explanation:

<u>“No taxation without representation”</u> was the motto of American colonists expressing objection to the British government. It suggested the inevitable American revolution.

<u>American colonists had no say in the English government but were somehow still expected to pay taxes.</u> They demanded their legal right to be represented in the government they gave their money to, otherwise they would refuse to be taxed.
