England was taxing the colonists without their consent, and without sending a representative to explain the mother country's reasoning. This is called taxation without representation. In fact, the phrase "No Taxation without Representation" became one of the colonists' main slogans to demonstrate their complaints.
Is this a true or false question? Because if it is, the answer should be false. The Boston Tea Party is one famous example of colonist resistance to taxation along with others.
Hope I helped!
