What made the American colonists to raise the slogan, "No taxation without representation"?

The war between France and Britain had left a heavy financial burden on the British. Since the American colonies were the main beneficiaries of Britain's victory in the conflict, Britain considered it appropriate to tax the Americans to manage its war efforts. For this purpose, the British Parliament passed a number of Acts viz. The Quartering Act, The Currency Act, The Sugar Act and The Stamp Act; imposing various restrictions and taxes on Americans. The Colonies responded by claiming that they alone had the right to tax themselves through their assemblies and that they were not represented in the British Parliament. So, they raised the slogan, "No taxation without representation".
