Which statement best explains why taxation without representation was a major issue for the colonist?

The colonists equated a lack of representation with a lack of consent to be ruled.

Explanation:

The colonists were paying taxes, which means that they were contributing to the government somehow, but they were not being heard. They didn't get a vote or even their opinions presented. They were not happy about how they were being ruled and they weren't even heard about it.
