Explanation :
In 1765, colonial delegates gathered in New York for the Stamp Act Congress to protest their lack of representation in Parliament, which was a direct response to the Stamp Act imposed by Britain. This event was significant in the early stages of American discontent with British rule, emphasizing the principle of "no taxation without representation."
