Explanation:

The given passage gives a key idea about the very fact that there should be "No taxation without representation". The engagement of Britain in the Seven Years’ War increased the national debt of Britian. Therefore, to recover the debt the Parliament of Britian for the very first time introduced direct taxes on its colonies in America one such was the Stamp Tax of 1765. However, the colonial assemblies rejected the law by claiming the tax as illegal for the reason that they had no representation in Parliament.
