∙ 12y agoI believe it was first written by Patrick Henry when the British was taxing the American colonists unfairly. It was basically used as a slogon for outraged colonists later on.

What was the rallying cry of the colonist with respect to taxes without consent?
It says that all thirten colonies were united under the common idea that they have absolved all allegiance to the British crown and were independent and free to do as any other free and independent soveriegn nation has the ability to do. Answer by Msena 21 No taxation without representation means that since the colonists were not represented in British Parlaiment, and therefor had no power at all they should not have to pay tax to Britain. In other words, they felt they owed Britain nothing for they had no privaleges. I do not know what the exact phrase is in the declaration though. Answer by anonymous yet reliable resource (p.s. Msena 21 is very wrong, she is talking about the declaration of independence, not the meaning of no taxation without representation or what the actual phrase is)
Why was the phrase taxation without representation so important?
"Taxation without Representation" was one of the base complaints that the American Colonists had with their British rulers. Most Americans were British citizens, and the Colonies in general saw themselves as extensions of the British homeland, not merely "part" of the Empire. As such, they viewed themselves as having all the rights and responsibilities that normal British subjects had. Thus, the idea that the British Parliament could pass laws and taxation without having any American MPs sitting in Parliament was offensive, in the same way that any British person living in (say) Liverpool would have expected an MP to represent them. The catch phrase "No Taxation without Representation" neatly summed up this idea that Americans saw themselves as part of a government as a whole, and expected that government would at least allow them a democratic say in it. That the British government would not allow the Colonists such representation helped fuel the idea that it was not a legitimate government for the Colonies; thus, if the British government wasn't a legitimate government, the Colonists must provide their own one. Q.E.D. - a revolution was justified.
