"Some influential members of Parliament opposed the measures that Parliament had adopted to tax and restrain the colonies. Those politicians argued that, as English subjects, the colonists should not be taxed as long as they were not permitted to vote for representatives to the House of Commons. Taxation without representation in Parliament violated their rights as Englishmen, the opponents to the king believed. Hence, in this cartoon, the carriage tramples the documents that give Englishmen the right to representation and that limit the monarch's powers."
