where did the phrase taxation without representation come from
No taxation without representation The phrase had been used for more than a generation in Ireland.[9][10] By 1765, the term was in use in Boston, and local politician James Otis was most famously associated with the phrase, "taxation without representation is tyranny."[11] In the course of the Revolutionary era (1750â€“1783), many arguments were pursued that sought to resolve the dispute surrounding Parliamentary sovereignty, taxation, self-governance and representation.[12][13][14][15][16][17]
