Answer (3)

Colonists argued that they should have a vote on taxes in Parliament if they are to be taxed by the British Government. The famous phrase that was coined was, "No taxation without representation," which was the colonists demands for the ability to have a say in the taxes that were enacted on them by the British.

The phrase "no taxation without representation" reflected the colonists' demand for a vote on taxation matters in Parliament.
