(1) The phrase ‘‘no taxation without represen-
tation’’ was a rallying cry of many American colo-
nists during the period of British rule in the 1760s 
and early 1770s. The slogan gained widespread no-
toriety after the passage of the Sugar Act on April 
5, 1764. 
(2) American colonists increasingly resented 
being levied taxes without having actual legislators 
seated and voting in Parliament in London. The 
idea that there should be no taxation without rep-
resentation dated back even further. Benjamin 
Franklin stated, ‘‘it is suppos’d an undoubted Right 
of Englishmen not to be taxed but by their own Con-
sent given thro’ their Representatives.’’. 
(3) This issue became even more defined in 
1765 with the passage of the Stamp Act which was 
the first true attempt to levy a direct tax on the 
American colonies. Ultimately the tax was repealed, 
but the idea of no taxation without representation 
persisted. 
(4) Article I, section 2, clause 1 of the United 
States Constitution, states, ‘‘The House of Rep-
resentatives shall be composed of Members chosen 
every second Year by the People of the several 
States, and the Electors in each State shall have the
