Social Studies
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: a phrase, generally attributed to James Otis about 1761, that reflected the resentment of American colonists at being taxed by a British Parliament to which they elected no representatives and became an anti-British slogan before the American Revolution; in full, “Taxation without representation is tyranny.”

Taxation without representation was possibly the first slogan adopted by American colonists chafing under British rule. 1 They objected to the imposition of taxes on colonists by a government that gave them no role in its policies.

Countries with limited and unlimited goverments
Umnica [9.8K]
Limited: US, Germany, Brazil, etc, etc: basically most of the countries on earth.

Unlimited (it's when the government has an unlimited power): Today probably only North Korea, and probably Vatican in a way. Also Brunei is an absolute monarchy, so it's at least on paper an unlimited in some sense of this word.
