Taxation without representation

One of the major causes of the American Revolution was that the Colonists did not have representation in parliament. This happens during the 1750's and the 1760's in Britain. There major slogan was ''no taxation without representation'' in other words, if no one represents them in the parliament, they would not pay taxes. During this time, there were 13 colonies. From 20 British citizens only one of them had representation in the parliament, but any of them belong to the 13 colonies.

After king George III taked throne of Britain in 1760. They start implying new laws including the Stamp Act, this was know as a British good. This allowed the british to put taxes in the newspaper, legal documents, dice and even the almanacas. Of course this were not benefical to the Americans. And this money that was earned from all this taxes was not giong to the colonies, it was back their mother land. Because these new acts and laws were only in benefical to the King.

The people that lived in the 13 colonist were in a big conflict, because they didn't have no one who represents them in the British parliament. They didn't even have the opportunity to vote for how will they be represented or taxed. We can said that the British government was total free to tax them in everything they want. They even taxed them in tea. But from all this illegal treatments comes their revolution at the merchants resist.
