[N]o man [should] be compelled to make or yield any gift, loan, benevolence, tax, or such like charge, without common consent by
act of parliament. what is the key idea stated in this quote? the king can’t put people into prison for no reason. the king can’t demand bribes in exchange for a legal favor. there should be no taxation without representation. there should be no new laws passed unless the king agrees to them.
I believe the answer is: there should be no taxation without representation
Taxation without representation refers to a situation when a group of people are forced to pay taxes to a certain government, but the government do not allow that group of people to have someone on their choosing within the government body to fight for the legislation that they want.
Taxation without representation became a major issue among colonists that eventually lead to the revolution.
