During the colonial period residents of 13 colonies were taxed by the British government but had no representatives in Parliament. Therefore, there was taxation without representation.

Nothing. TaxAtion, however, is meaningful!
It means that citizens should not be taxed unless they have had some say in the matter, i.e. what should be taxed, how much it should be taxed, when the tax must be paid and to whom, etc.
