"No Taxation Without Representation!" and "Taxation Without Representation is Tyranny!" Both were essentially nonsense; if the colonies did get representation in Parliament, it would have been just a few seats (going by relative population), and they would have been consistently outvoted in colonial matters.
The Stamp Act Congress was formed as a result of the Stamp Act in 1765. This gathering of representatives from nine of the American colonies convened in New York City to organize a unified protest against the tax, which imposed a levy on printed materials. The Congress marked a significant step toward colonial unity and resistance against British taxation, ultimately contributing to the larger movement for independence.
