Answer:

The colonies did not have a say/voice in Parliament.

Step-by-step explanation:

"No taxation without representation" was the rant of the American colonies due to Parliament taxing pretty much everything like newspapers & pamphlets (The Stamp Act of 1765) and imports (The Sugar Act of 1764.) The colonies believed that Parliament had no right to tax them without any American colony representatives in Parliament.
