American Colonists The American colonists resisted taxation by the British Parliament in the 1760’s and 1770’s. This was set on the grounds that no man’s property could be legitimately taken from him without his own precise consent, either directly with the owner or even through his representatives. The slogan “No taxation without representation” came about and caused the colonists to rally behind it’s true meaning. So can it be justified that a man’s property may be taken away from him just for the sole purpose of British Parliament rules' We cannot also forget that another key battle was brewing about over the colonists and Parliament. We have also heard about the supporter’s of Parliament and their agreement in taxation without representation. Was this in fact true' During the 17th century the British people themselves went so far as to overthrow their monarch first in 1649 and again in 1688. This was because of the fact that the king tried to rule without seeking the advice and consent of the nation’s own representative body, the House of Commons.
