Taxation with representation 等价命题 No taxation without representation.无代表则无税.
"No taxation without representation" was a catchphrase in the prior 1763-1774 that summarized a primary grievance of the American colonists in the Thirteen colonies leading to the Revolution.Americans complained vehemently that taxes were imposed by the imperial government in which the colonies had no voice.They protested this was a loss of a historic right of all Englishmen,that only their elected representatives could levy a tax.The Americans rejected the Stamp Act 1765 (which was repealed),and in 1773 violently rejected the tax on tea at the Boston Tea Party.When Britain started punishing the resistance,the Americans armed themselves and seized control of each colony,ousting the royal governors.The complaint was never over the amount of taxation (which was small),but always on the decision-making process by which taxes were decided in London.
在资本主义上升时期,资产阶级为了维护自身的经济利益旗帜鲜明地提出了“无代表则无税”(No Taxation Without Representation)的口号,要求课税权以资产阶级为主导的“人民”所控制的议会掌握.这种要求在资产阶级革命胜利之后,被确认为一项宪法原则,成为税法的基本原则,即税收法律主义.
