The correct answer to this open question is the following.

How is "...paying taxes without appeal when laws do not suit us" similar to the American Revolutionary war cry "no taxation without representation"?

Answer: It is similar in that the petitioners of universal suffrage questioned why they had to pay taxes when they did not have any rights.

It is very similar to the case of the American colonies' time when colonists were angry against the English crown due to the many taxes imposed by the King of England such as the Tea Act, the Stamp Act, or the Navigation Acts. The English government forced Americans to pay taxes, but they protested saying that they had no voice or representation in the British Parliament.

"A Petition for a Universal Sufragge" was the document presented to the US Congress on January 29, 1866. The document was drafted by Elizabeth C. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.
