Answer:

no taxation without representation meant that parliament should not be able to tax people if they do not have representation on parliament. It was a rallying cry for the colonists because as British colonies Great Britain claimed that members of the British parliament also represent them but they wanted a representative from the colonies who actually knew what the colonists wanted. The crown refused to give them their own representative so they did not want to be taxed.

Jamestown island

The English travelers arrived on April 1607 to Jamestown Island, they thought they had arrived to a paradise land after spending four and half months at the sea. They settle in and were eager to extract gold and other treasures to ship back to England, but in their first summer 46 colonists died of mosquito-infestation, hunger and Indian arrows. They are recognized as the first English settlement in North America, but they have been roughly criticized as a group of English men who were looking for money and treasures and found catastrophe. Since Archaeologists found new evidence that says they were more equipped than previously thought and that they had deals with Native Americans (they found a fossil of an Indian woman that seemed to be cooking for an English gentleman). Documents and archaeological records show that they were instructed to make a close relationship with the Indians.

Since the evidence shows that they faced rough climate conditions and a starving time Jeffery Sheler referenced Dennis Blanton (<em>co-author of the tree-ring study</em> ) who <em>suggested that </em><em>Jamestown colonists have been unfairly criticized</em> and <em>that even the best planned and supported colony would have been challenged under those conditions</em>, they were thought to have poor planning, poor support and indifference to their subsistence. It is now known that Indian reports of lack of food were not strategies but true records of feeding two populations in the drought.

How did baron de montesquieu and john locke influence the founding fathers
White raven [17]
At the time period, the founding fathers of the United States were heavily influenced by the philosophies of Montesquieu and John Locke. Montesquieu proposed a system of checks and balances by which one aspect of government would not and frankly, could not, possess too much power. The founding fathers accepted this idea thoroughly, as is evidenced by our current governmental system and the three branches. The Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches are all designed so that one branch will never exceed the other branches, Montesquieu influenced Benjamin Franklin in particular as he traveled to France frequently. Moreover, John Locke proposed the social contract. Essentially, the social contract states that a government must secure the rights of its citizens. In the event that it fails to do so, the citizens then have the right to rebel and overthrow such a government. The natural rights which he spoke of referred to a citizens right to life, liberty, and property. The founding fathers took his philosophy to heart, especially Thomas Jefferson. He made a slight variation though on Locke's natural rights, writing instead that citizens have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
