Answer: D. "For Imposing Taxes on us without our Consent"

The phrase "no taxation without representation" was a famous slogan during the 1700s that expressed a complaint that colonial citizens had against the British government. Taxes for the colonies were decided in the British Parliament. However, Americans did not elect representatives to the Parliament. Therefore, they argued that they were not consenting to the taxes and that this was a form of tyranny. It is one of the factors that eventually led to the American Revolutionary War.
