There were no colonies when the English parliament started.
The Stamp Act of 1765 was imposed on the American colonies to help pay for the French and Indian War. It was an act of the British parliament. The colonists protested this and it gave way to the anti-British slogan of no taxation without representation. This was due to the fact the colonies had no representation in the Parliament.
