Taxation without representation, I'm sure you've heard that expression before.

The American colonists protested the Tea Act of 1773, which allowed the East India Company to sell tea directly to them while still imposing a tax. This led to the Boston Tea Party, where colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor as an act of defiance against British taxation without representation. The event highlighted the growing unrest that would eventually lead to the American Revolution.
