Question

how is abigail adams's argument similar to the colonists protest over taxation without representation ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Her argument is similar because Abigail Adams believed women shouldn't be subject to laws that they are not a party in developing.

Explanation:

Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams and she was an advocate of several causes that were progressive for her time including female education and the abolition of slavery.  She believed that women should not have to participate or abide by laws where they are not represented and do not have a say.  In this, her position was similar to that of the colonists more generally who rebelled against taxation without representation in the British government. In 1776 she wrote a famous letter as the Continental Congress was meeting in Philidelphia.  She asked the Founding Fathers to “remember the ladies,” and she warned other women with the following remark: “Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.” Her son would also become president, John Quincy Adams.
