What other techniques were used to achieve the same goal in the Stamp act?
The American colonists used several means of protest to let the British Parliament and King know that they did not believe that the Parliament had the power to regulate internal trade or set laws dealing with the internal domestic affairs of the colonies. The colonists did not elect a representative to Parliament, thus Parliament did not really represent the colonies."No taxation without representation." Boycotting British goods was one of the most effective means of protest. The first protest started over the passage of the Sugar Act of 1764. The Boston town meeting declared that the city would not import any British goods until Parliament repealed the tax. The Stamp Act Congress represented nine of the colonies and the delegates, while proclaiming their loyalty to the King, again denounced the actions of Parliament because of no representative in that body to speak for the colonies. Boycotting of goods was again used to hurt the profits of the merchants in England who would then, hopefully, put pressure on Parliament to repeal the tax. The colonists also used some "not-so-legal" means of protesting. Tax collectors were tarred and feathered and sent out of town riding a log. Some private property was destroyed, as seen in the Boston Tea Party. Letters were written to the King and Parliament expressing the views of the colonies. Ben Franklin and other notables tried to convince Parliament that they were only causing the colonists to use more efforts of resistance that might lead to a call for independence. Committees were established in many colonies to keep the other colonies informed of activities, and this served as one means of communication to keep the colonies united in their protests against the Crown and Parliament.

What did King Charles 1 do to the Parliament?
In a nutshell - Charles I believed in the Divine Right of Kings and wanted to rule as an 'absolute monarch'. Basically this means that he believed Parliament existed to serve him. Because Parliament believed differently, that the King ruled with Parliament and was not above the laws of the land, Charles and Parliament would clash and Charles would end up dismissing Parliament and trying to rule without them. A bit difficult to do, since Parliament held the purse strings. Charles would use what ever means he could find to raise money without having to recall Parliament, means that weren't always legal or ethical. In the end, when he was finally forced to call a Parliament, they turned on him; Charles tried to evict them, they refused to leave, he called an army and the Civil War began. In the end, Charles lost his head, his family went on the run and Cromwell ruled the country as dictator for several years.
