Question

True or false:

Answer 1

Answer/Explanation:

True, taxation without representation was a phrase to describe American colonists desire to have colonial  participation and representation, before any new tax laws were passed in Parliament.

"No Taxation Without Representation." In 1765, the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act, which placed a tax on newspapers, almanacs, cards, legal documents, and other paper documents. Colonists were upset that they had to pay taxes for a war they had nothing to do with. They demanded that action be taken because they had no say for their own people.
