In what way is the concept of 'no taxation without representation' central to america's identity as a nation

Explanation:

Taxation without representation means that the government is asking people to pay the taxes, but isn't providing them with representatives who will fight for them. This is what happened in America while it was still a British colony - Britain 'ruled' over America, taking its taxes, but Americans didn't have a representative in the government who will defend them. This was one of the causes of the American revolution against the kingdom.

The concept of 'no taxation without representation' is central to America's identity as a nation because of the aforementioned. Due to its history with Britain, America fought not to be ruled by any other nation ever again. Its taxes will be only its own and there will be no one else to take the fruits of their labor.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
