â No taxation without representation â refers to the slogan from 1750s and 1760s that encapsulates the prime grievance of the Thirteen Colonies. It is actually part of a sermon given by Jonathan Mayhew in 1750. It was also one of the causes of the American Revolution.
At the risk of getting back on topic... Once upon a time, I removed the odd claim that Jonathan Mayhew coined the phrase no taxation without representation from the Wikipedia article on that phrase. Wikipedia being Wikipedia, someone put it back!
