The colonial boycotts were an example of taxation without representation because the British imposed new tax laws without anybody from the colonies to represent them in Britain. They had no say in any new laws, or acts, that the British imposed on them. It would kind of be like if Michigan had no representatives in Congress (which means no say in our government) and had to abide by laws they had no say in.

How is the term no taxation without representation and the stamp act linked?
Taxation without representation refers to the British Parliament's disregard of the colonies. The colonists believed in real representation: a representative must be from the same region that he is representing. However, the members of Parliament had never been to the colonies. They simply assumed the colonial support (virtual representation). The Stamp Act was the first revenue oriented tax that Britain had imposed on the colonies. The colonists were not accustomed to external taxes, as they had a system of self-taxation. This tax caused great opposition in the colonies.
