Answer 2

Answer: Otis felt that taxation without representation was tyranny.

Step-by-step explanation:

No taxation without representation was the slogan coined during the 1700s that represented only one of many complaints of the American colonists and was one of the main causes of the Revolution.

Many colonists felt that not being directly represented in the British Parliament, laws that affected them, such as tax legislation, were actually illegal under the Bill of Rights 1689. In1765, James Otis became well known for his own version of that phrase: taxation without representation is tyranny.
