Who Said Taxation Without Representation

refer to what Kailey said... which is 100% historically accurate... Back in the 1800's the 13 colonies were under British rule, and during that time, the "tea tax" existed which placed a hefty tax on tea, stamps, EVERYTHING that arrived from overseas. However, none of the 13 colonies were represented in the House of Commons (which was in Great Britain), hence the statement "taxation without representation". Britain's tyrannical rule over the states did not last long at all... Consider the Boston Tea Party or the American Revolution... America!!!! They don't take smack from nobody! REVOLUTION!

Somebody above me already gave this answer. Oh well
The phrase "No Taxation Without Representation!" was coined by Reverend Jonathan Mayhew in a sermon in Boston in 1750. By 1765 the term "no taxation without representation" was in use in Boston, but no one is sure who first used it. Boston politician James Otis was most famously associated with the term, "taxation without representation is tyranny." [1]

Patrick Henry is quoted with it. But there were a few other people who also have been quoted with it. Just good the quote. You'll see.
