where did the colonists want to have a representative?
house of burgesses
the colonists did not have direct representation in british parliament, and felt that the government couldn’t place taxes on the colonists unless they had representatives in government. the colonists did not want to have taxes levied on them to raise money for the british government when they had no say in the legislature of such taxes. in reality, the british were implementing these taxes to raise the revenue they lost in the french and indian war, as well as will the colonies into submission as the british felt their loyalty was wavering. the colonists slogan for this issue was “no taxation without representation” it is up for debate who the individual is who coined this expression. different sources say it was patrick henry in 1750, while another says it was jonathan mayhew (also in 1750)
